Neighborhood 1 – Media Workshop in Berlin Neukölln

Trying Something New, Asking Critical Questions, Developing Career Perspectives

The goal of this project is to support children and young people in their personal development during the transition from school to work, providing guidance and prospects for their professional future. This includes strengthening their media literacy. Key qualifications such as reliability, teamwork, punctuality, and appropriate social behavior are also emphasized.

Workshops and Activities

Participants will explore various skills, connect with others, and design and organize their projects through workshops focusing on:

• Repair
• Creativity
• Energy
• How to Be an Influencer
• Public Relations and Marketing
• Organization

Participants will gain hands-on experience with craftsmanship through activities such as repairing their smartphones or creating accessories, offering insights into technical professions.

Media Competence and Social Media Literacy

The workshop “How to Be an Influencer” enhances media literacy by addressing internet safety, data security, and behavior on social networks. Participants will engage in discussions with professional influencers, learning from their experiences and gaining insight into the realities of the influencer profession.

Project Management and Communication

Throughout the project, participants will independently take on responsibilities in project management and external communication. Tasks include recruiting additional participants and showcasing the project on social media.

The project’s interdisciplinary focus ensures that all key elements are integrated into the scheduled activities.

Implementation and Collaboration

After an initial information day on November 26, 2022, the workshop structure and tasks will be planned and agreed upon in regular sessions with the participants. Professional facilitators will provide support during all workshops. New participants are welcome to join even after the information day.

This initiative empowers young people to discover new skills, critically reflect on their actions, and prepare for a successful professional future.
