A Promising Start for Vox Civica in New Projects

At the beginning of the year, the Vox Civica team, in collaboration with our external partners, put in a great deal of effort, and it paid off: we secured two projects during the March session of the Erasmus+ Program this year.

The first successful project, funded under KA220 YOU (Youth), is titled “Media Wise – Building Youth Resilience Against Online Manipulation, Disinformation, and Internet Deception.” It received 73 points, ranking 4th out of 6, with the project code 2024-1-RO01-KA220-YOU-000248266 (click here to see the list).

The project aims to develop the skills and competencies of 24 Youth workers in the six partner organizations, for building youth resilience against online manipulation, disinformation, and internet deception among 180 young people within the six countries involved in the project.

The second winning project, financed by KA220 ADU (Adult Education), is titled “Senior Wisdom Tech Hub – Digital Technologies Supporting Active Aging!” It was awarded 76 points, placing 7th out of 9, with the project code 2024-1-RO01-KA220-ADU-000243936 (click here to see the list).

This project aims to prepare 24 adult mentors to ensure mentoring activities for 48 seniors from the six partner countries to be able to use smartphones and tablets to improve their daily lives (paying bills, and taxes, shopping online, and staying connected to their loved ones). Each mentor will work with two seniors during the six months of the Mentoring Program.

The entire Vox Civica team is now gearing up for the implementation of these two projects. Additionally, we have just completed an advanced digitization training course through a mobility project, also part of the Erasmus+ Program, which will be highly beneficial as both projects focus on digitization and the online environment.
