The Youth Media Clubs project was a joint work of six youth groups from Poland, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania and Greece, actively working with youth and in the media sphere.The implementation of the project was based on youth groups cooperating with project partners and interested in the media - they have already tried their hand at school newspapers, school radio, and social media. Each group was motivated to acquire new skills, practice them and develop their passions.It is worth emphasizing that they were socially active youth, sensitive to problems existing in their immediate environment, the participants decided that the axis - the theme of their joint work would be discovering and promoting places of interest for young people in their immediate environment. According to the project assumptions, our groups discovered places that would interest their peers, and which are located close to their homes - trails, bicycle routes, kayaking, places of interesting volunteering (mainly related to ecology), places related to culture and dialogue - events, events, institutions. Also, according to the project assumptions, each group developed 10 such descriptions (created on common templates) constituting the Youth Guide, using the ability to write texts, photos, create films and elements of computer graphics. From the descriptions in two languages (own and English), a jointly created website was created at https://youthmediaclubs.eu/ and reports on the creation of materials were additionally found on social media.Participants independently developed the website's graphics, collaborated with a computer graphics specialist, placed new posts and photos themselves during the project, and worked together to improve the website. As part of the project, unfortunately, only one organizational meeting took place (April 2019 in Poland), although we were also planning a project closing meeting - evaluation in Bulgaria. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to conduct an evaluation meeting in Bulgaria (planned for April 2020) and we conducted the project evaluation thanks to online tools. In addition, 2 training sessions were conducted (in August 2019 in Greece and October 2019 in Turkey), where 5 participants from each group will gain new experience and knowledge. The first training was devoted to journalistic techniques, the use of image and sound, processing it and skilful use in the work of journalistic clubs. At the second training in Bursa, we focused on using the internet, including mainly social media and telephone applications to promote our activities and be active on the web. Particular attention, however, has been placed on the issue of responsible and informed use of the network and its dangers. The project was carried out in accordance with the assumptions and plan (the only element that could not happen was the evaluation meeting by the COVID pandemic) and we achieved our goals - that is not only to develop and acquire new media-related skills and use them in practice when creating a website, but above all, shaping the attitude of independence, entrepreneurship, resourcefulness and social commitment.
