Breaking Boundaries: Empowering Rural Voices in a Globalized World | Matej Čačík | TEDxDKU

66% of Slovak students are susceptible to disinformation, which makes them easy targets for Russian propaganda. Despite this recent data output, the Slovak education system is not dedicating enough time to education on critical thinking and manipulation strategies. Civic society members, such as Matej Čačík, have therefore established non-governmental organizations to educate the youth and promote democracy at schools. In his TEDx talk, he describes why non-formal education methods, in-person workshops and peer-to-peer approach is efficient at teaching media literacy in the current polarized world. Matej Čačík is a passionate advocate for bridging the urban-rural divide in Slovakia through innovative, community-centered initiatives. Currently studying at Central European University in Vienna, he has been involved in various non-profit projects aimed at empowering underserved communities and creating opportunities for growth in rural areas. Čačík's work focuses on fostering collaboration between diverse social groups and enhancing access to essential resources. With a NATO grant supporting his efforts, he has also developed strong connections with key stakeholders, including government officials like the Prime Minister of Slovakia. His projects have garnered attention for their forward-thinking approach to addressing inequality and fostering a more inclusive society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
