* INsPIrE project: an action research project
In six European cities (Brussels, Barcelona, Cluj-Napoca, London, Mechelen and Tübingen), high education institutions and universities create partnerships with non-formal educational programmes and civil society organisations. By organising common courses in journalism and art, they involve young people who are usually under and misrepresented in the mainstream media and have them collaborate with students in journalism. Supervised by a team of teachers and educators, they coproduce media content, following a fully participatory editorial process, debating and analysing the topics they cover. This action research project aims at exploring innovative participatory educational and media practices, fostering media-pluralism as well as assessing the role of journalistic expression for strengthening young Europeans’ social and civic competences.
