🚀Training Course in Slovakia, “Decoding Digital Spaces” : Exploring AI, Media Literacy and Digital Safety

From March 17 to 23, 2025, young people from Armenia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Austria, and Italy came together in Trnava, Slovakia, for the Erasmus+ training course Decoding Digital Spaces. Organized by the European Dialogue NGO, the training created a space for learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange around some of the most relevant issues in today’s digital world. 

The program covered key topics such as media literacy, digital safety, and AI in daily life. Through a mix of hands-on workshops and team activities, participants explored how digital spaces shape the way we consume information, communicate, and make decisions.

One of the highlights was experimenting with emerging AI tools like Hailuo, Notebook LM, and Kling. These sessions sparked lively conversations about the benefits and risks of AI technologies—and how to approach them critically and creatively.

As a final task, participants worked in international teams to produce short video reels addressing topics like copyright awareness, fake news, and online safety—putting theory into practice with powerful, shareable messages.

The learning extended beyond the training room. A visit to Trnava University offered insight into how AI is being integrated into education during an engaging discussion with Professor Rastislav Zabojnik. Later, the group visited Flek Mental Health Club, where they learned how the club supports youth well-being and uses digital tools for community building.

Thanks to the support of INEDNET NGO, the Armenian team was able to take part in this vibrant project, proudly representing Armenia throughout the week—both in workshops and during the intercultural night. The Armenian team offered a fun quiz and presentation about Armenia, which brought people together through curiosity and laughter.

The project wrapped up with a study visit to Bratislava, giving everyone time to reflect, connect, and enjoy the beauty of the city—ending the week on a high note.

“Decoding Digital Spaces” was more than just a training course. It was a chance to grow, connect, and understand the digital world in deeper and more meaningful ways. The Armenian team returns home with new tools, fresh perspectives, and friendships that cross borders.
