About the project 

The topic of the project relates to the understanding of the dangers in the social media era for young people and to increase the awareness of the dangers regarding the fake news. There is a huge need for a more comprehensive approach to digital content, technologies and practices. The project will be an opportunity for us to spend time together to share views, fears, concerns, ideas for improvement and to come up with proposals to fill the gaps in both our local communities and our countries, and around the world. This projects wants to promote the critical thinking in order to filter and evaluate the news the young people receive. The project’s ultimate goal is to highlight the importance of dialogue and how it can help filter the news, especially those that we receive from the internet.
Participants will also develop skills and experience in social campaigning. This is relevant skill nowadays for young people since it helps to break up barriers for public performance, public speaking, group and teamwork, leading and planning, debriefing and evaluating results.
