ToR: MIL consultancy for partner organization in Moldova

As the Coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other conflicts have shown, during a crisis the population feels inadequately informed and turns to social media. Young people are particularly exposed to propaganda and hate speech there.

To counter this, DW Akademie in Moldova has focused on mainstreaming MIL into educational practices for youth. During 2017-2022, MIL was introduced as an elective subject in the national school curriculum, textbooks were developed, and teachers were trained to deliver MIL lessons.

Starting 2023, DW Akademie’s work in the field of MIL continues but focuses on an integrative MIL approach in schools (i.e., integration of individual MIL competencies into compulsory subjects), which can reach the vulnerable groups, including national minorities. The objective of the project is to establish Moldovan educational institutions as sites for inclusive MIL teaching. The target group is children and youth (9-18 years old), including social orphans and Russian-speaking minorities.
