Objectives

The project aims to address the challenges of media literacy, citizenship and European values, while facilitating digital transformation. The emphasis is on learning, combating misinformation and civic participation. Through the acquisition of shared skills and values, the project encourages active engagement, respect for diversity and informed media consumption, with the aim of enabling young people to navigate the media landscape responsibly and make a positive contribution to society.

Activities

An electronic platform providing accessible resources and tools for media literacy. A short film to raise awareness and denounce the spread of 'fake news' in the media. A guide to promoting active civic participation, providing strategies and resources for individuals to engage meaningfully in civic affairs. Cross-training sessions focusing on digital media, to critically evaluate media content, identify fake news and use digital platforms responsibly.

Impact

Our media education project will help them develop the critical thinking skills needed to navigate a complex media landscape. This will enable them to discern reliable sources from misleading or malicious content, so that they can make informed decisions. This project develops thinking, creativity, self-expression and civic participation by encouraging young people to engage in public discussion, exercise their right to vote and make a positive contribution to their community.
