18-26 June 2025 | Vatra Dornei, Romania

Disinformation Fighters Club is an Erasmus+ training course focused on the pressing issues of disinformation and and fake news in online environments. The training will carry the participants through the various aspects of critical thinking.

Disinformation is serious problem at EU level, which increases hand-in-hand with development of
technology and information flows in the online environment. Youngsters are among the most exposed to this phenomenon, at this age critical thinking and positioning in relation to society and community are formed. The significant amount of disinformation in the online environment often distorts young people's perception of the EU, European values and active citizenship.

Critical thinking, access to reliable information and the ability to engage in participatory and constructive dialogue are key areas for a prosperous development of youngsters across Europe. Young people often experience difficulties to verify the accuracy and reliability of information. They need to be more adequately equipped to navigate the information landscape and to participate in constructive dialogue.

“Disinformation Fighters Club” training course will carry the participants through various sides of critical thinking and correct information. During the training participants will have a clear understanding on reliable sources of information, facts vs. opinions, as well as the state of play in the participating countries.
