A newspaper for under 25s
Workshop for 12 to 17 year-olds 19 April – 24 May 2021
CUBO offers six events for young people and teenagers with two key objectives: providing participants with the main theoretical and practical skills required in the field of journalism and publishing, presenting the” Scomodo” model and involving participants in its publishing activities.
What does being a journalist mean? What and how many sources are there? When does an event become news? To understand the world around us we need the right interpretation.
In collaboration with Associazione Scomodo
The "Scomodo" model
- Monday 19 April 2021 at 17:30 - 19:00
The first event is divided into two stages: getting to know one another through ice-breaking activities and break-out rooms; the second stage of the lesson will focus on the presentation of the Scomodo project with a description of its goals and its origins. At the end, there will be a survey in order to develop an effective teaching programme for the subsequent meetings.
