With the youth exchange "Disconnect to Re-Connect" we wanted to address the influence and impact of social media on young people. Most young people use social media on a daily basis. Through this youth exchange, we wanted to develop their skills for a more positive and safer use of social media. In addition, with this youth exchange we wanted to address some negative impacts and effects of social media, e.g. cyberbullying or the impact of social media on young people's confidence and self-esteem, to open a discussion on these issues and provide insights and recommendations to young people how to reduce these negative sides of social media. Looking at the participants' feedback during and after the youth exchange, we can say that the participants found the project very engaging and useful, as many of them agreed that "social media is a big part of their life". The youth exchange "Disconnect to Re-Connect" was carried out to achieve the following goals: - Sensitizing participants to the influence of social media on their behaviour, with a particular focus on self-esteem and self-confidence; - Increase participants' skills to protect themselves on social media and use social media positively; -to familiarize participants with different approaches to dealing with social media and to support their critical view of social media; -Development of the competences of the participants, e.g. B. Communication in English, teamwork in a mixed intercultural team, problem solving, conflict management; -Improve participants' knowledge about the Erasmus+ program and support the development of new project ideas that meet participants' needs; -Share lessons learned during the youth exchange through online media and face-to-face activities in the clubs involved, in order to open a critical debate on social media in the participants' clubs.
