Grant Description

Embassy Bratislava seeks a partner organization to host a TechCamp on Increasing Digital Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills.

Through TechCamp, the Embassy will encourage participants to work together to develop creative ideas to identify, monitor and counter disinformation, to promote objective media reporting on current events, and to encourage critical thinking among citizens.
