This workshop is implemented as part of Croatian Media Literacy Days (on April 2,) 2026, in collaboration with Romanian EPAS / eTwinning partners within a Jean Monnet (and eTwinning) project Europe2Go. It brings together students to explore European cooperation, media sources and communication, as well as crisis decision-making through simulation and digital creation. CLIL Framework – the workshop integrates: • Content – European citizenship, (EU/human) values, cooperation, crisis management • Language – English as a working/negotiation language • Cognition – problem-solving, decision-making, evaluation • Culture – intercultural collaboration (Croatia – Romania)

By the end of the workshop, students will be able to: identify, represent and advocate for key European values (democracy, freedom, human dignity, equality, human rights, rule of law) during negotiations and decision-making; reflect on how these values influence cooperation and conflict resolution; explain the importance of solidarity, interdependence and cooperation among European regions; demonstrate understanding of shared responsibility in crisis situations (European Citizenship, EPAS, eTwinning); evaluate the credibility and reliability of media sources when researching Europe-regions’ resources distinguish between reliable information, bias and misinformation; use verified information to support negotiation arguments and decisions; critically reflect on how communication, information flow and messaging affect decision-making; recognize the role of clear, ethical communication in avoiding conflict (Media Literacy); work effectively in multicultural teams toward a shared goal; apply basic negotiation strategies (compromise, alliances, mutual benefit) and contribute to collective problem-solving under time pressure (Collaboration); use English as a working language in real-life simulation / authentic, task-based situations (negotiation, agreement-making, collaboration); apply subject-specific vocabulary (e.g. resources, sustainability, cooperation, infrastructure, energy); develop functional language skills – persuading (“We propose…”, “In exchange for…”), agreeing/disagreeing (“We can accept this if…”), negotiating compromises; demonstrate fluency and clarity in spontaneous communication with international peers; show intercultural communication awareness (respect, turn-taking, clarity); present group decisions and outcomes clearly; reflect and articulate personal contributions and learning (Language & Communication); co-create a shared digital product (AI-logo, Canva Charter / message or statement video/podcast, Padlet reflection) and contribute to a collective digital identity (Digital Creation).
