I was so lucky to be selected as a participant in the Erasmus + training course on the topic of “Post-truth” and disinformation which took place in Berlin, Germany between 14-21 March 2022. I spent one unforgettable week in the heart of Berlin together with young like-minded people from all over Europe. Not only did we have engaging discussions and debates during the training but we could also discover the city and do various creative activities such as making a short film, interviewing locals about their perception of fake news or simply enjoying a visit to the many fascinating museums related to German history. I feel privileged to have learnt so many news skills and developed my critical thinking when it comes to disinformation especially in these challenging times of war and forced displacement for many. It was also a privilege to represent my country and to make new friends and lasting memories. I would recommend to all young people to apply and take part in a Erasmus + short or long-term opportunity as this would enhance not only their skills and knowledge but also enable them to travel and discover more about the world and themselves.
