Outcomes of the activity

The influence of the media to young people should not be underestimated, on the contrary it must be dealt with. Young people are lacking critical thinking in terms of social media. Therefore, it is important to help them be media literate, so that they can protect themselves and manage their lives in the future. For this reason, young people and youth workers should acquire basic knowledge of media education, tools and activities to protect themselves and develop acceptable behaviour on social media and with technology.
