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.

The 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.

As a results, the project includes a set of open educational resources to develop language and communication skills for vulnerable young people. It includes:

¨ Short training modules, illustrating concepts and ideas of communication in real-life situations and scenarios.

¨ Games for storytelling, narrative creation, and oral expression.

¨ Guide for Youth Workers and Educators, with ideas for online, offline or blended activities.

¨ TALKaCTIVE App, challenges and minigames on communication for active citizenship.
