The TALKaCtive project aims to create innovative educational resources that support young people in improving their language skills and communication competences. It addresses the negative impact of misusing digital channels and raises awareness among young people of the challenges of communicating appropriately, effectively and responsibly in a variety of contexts.
The TALKaCtive project strives to develop groundbreaking educational materials to help young individuals enhance their language abilities and communication skills. The project aims to tackle the detrimental effects of using digital platforms inappropriately and educate young people on the importance of communicating responsibly and effectively in different situations.
Our targets...
Young people
Especially those who have abandoned compulsory education, or who have lower levels of qualification. This specific group is more vulnerable to the negative effects of digital media, since they initially have a lower set of knowledge and linguistic and communication skills. But also youth in general, since a higher qualification or educational background is not necessarily a guarantee of good communication skills.
Educators and youth workers
who work with groups of marginalized youth or those at greater risk of exclusion, are a priority objective of the project, since they play a key role in the process of integration and inclusion of these groups.
Our objectives...
TALKaCtive project aims at improving young people’s communication skills, through language development (both mother tongue and third languages), the ability to interact in a variety of contexts, and the acquisition of resources and strategies to understand the world around them and become active citizens.
Around the axis of communication, it will also contribute to improve other skills:
- Critical Thinking, important in a digitized reality of fake news and misinformation.
- Analysis skills, which requires a good reading comprehension.
- Social participation, by providing tools for better argumentation, defense and debate of ideas.
- Social inclusion, by focusing on most vulnerable young people.
- Media literacy, focusing on the effect of digital communication settings and practices.
