Over 600 registrations for Filter’s online media literacy course for youth

On the occasion of the International Youth Day, Filter organized a three-day intensive online course on critical thinking, called “Filter and change”.

This year, for the first time, Ukraine celebrates Youth Day on August 12. Due to the full-scale unprovoked and unjustified invasion of the Russian Federation, the youth of Ukraine had to transition into adulthood earlier. Young people had to deal with an unprecedented level of responsibility. Today, young Ukrainians are fighting on various fronts: some have joined the Armed Forces or Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, some are fighting on the information field, some are tirelessly volunteering, working in the war conditions, and winning victories in sports, education, or other fields abroad.

Ukrainian youth is worth being proud of. We are convinced that with such a young generation, Ukraine has a wonderful future.

That is why, on the occasion of the Youth Day, Filter prepared a free three-day intensive course for young Ukrainians. More than 600 young Ukrainians registered for it!

We thank all our speakers who shared their experiences with the participants of the course, among them Taras Shevchenko, Valeria Kovtun, Oleksandr Pyrozhkov, Anastasia Lopina, Olha Kravchenko, Kateryna Mykhalko, Mykola Davydiuk, Viktor Pichugin, Oleksandra Rozumienko and Ivan Prymachenko.
