The aim of Backpack Journalism is to raise media literacy of young people through their active participation as non-professional journalists.The idea of the methodology is to go to a smaller place abroad with basic journalistic equipment and to explore the local environment. Participants (from one or more countries) take all the equipment with them in their backpacks.The method can be used to motivate and train young people to become citizen journalists also back in their own countries. It also includes a rich learning dimension, not only in the media literacy context but also in terms of intercultural learning, project management, team work and responsible citizenship.
