What is the project about?
Youth nowadays live surrounded by a continuous flood of information and news. The information
comes to young people from almost every app that we use. Radio, television, newspapers, social
media and internet became the main sources of often false news. The fake news are misleading
people and are usually causing negative attitudes and actions like hate speech or violence extremism
and also can create a mist that hides the genuine and effective information. Thus it can be hard and
time consuming for youth leaders and youth workers to reach out for genuine and useful
information.
This project aims to increase the level of civic youth participation by providing media literacy to 21
This project is funded by European Union
youth workers from Europe and neighbouring countries, for 7 months.
The aim will be supported by the following objectives:
• to provide educators (youth workers, teachers, mentors, youth leaders) with concrete tools to
counter fake news and hate speech
•to explore the deepness of this issue in regard to fake news and hate speech using experiential
learning
• to enhance the optimal usage of social media against fake news and hate speech
• to create a context where the participants can reflect on their own learning process, using the
competences promoted by Erasmus+
By using interactive and non-formal methods, the participants will become highly involved in the
project and will be able to develop their own skills and practical knowledge. The training working
