Objectives

By doing so, we wanted to enable young people to be educated in these non-formal learning methods, taking into account that participants could come into contact with experts on these topics, such as Professor David especially during a series of fun simulation games of an inclusive nature. We also wanted to ensure that all young people, and especially our disadvantaged participants, some of whom had experienced bad experiences in terms of the above-mentioned phenomena, were able to look at the use of digital technologies more cautiously in order to prevent these problems from deepening further. We also used non-formal learning methods to enable young people to discuss these issues in more detail in national interactive presentations and workshops, and to come up with new ideas on how to popularize digital threat prevention methods, while creating an international youth network interested in these topics. By implementing the project, we also wanted to acquaint young people with the level of digital literacy across the participating countries, but also to give them the opportunity to see for themselves what the digital literacy situation in our region is and to visit other places in our region where during the special activity they came into contact with the locals and could ask them questions related to digital literacy and phenomena such as fake news or cyberbullying. It was also our goal to give participants, and especially our disadvantaged participants, in whose environment such phenomena can contribute to the radicalization of youth, the opportunity to understand the principles on which these phenomena are based, but also in our anti-fake news campaign to learn about the materials. participants with new software so that they can refine their digital knowledge, which is later applicable to the labor market.
