The use of the Internet and its development over the last three decades has influenced individual decisions, making personal choices depend many times on the information on the Net. The Web has become the fastest, easiest, and most accessible tool for getting the information you need. Unfortunately, the news shared is too often unverified and false, often being generated ad hoc to create misinformation. Nowadays, the informational side of the internet has become a battleground for clickbait, often written in capital letters in link titles to draw attention to news articles. According to Statista.com, more than two-thirds of Europeans are confronted with fake news at least once a week. In light of this, their influence in the formation of opinions, beliefs and, in some cases, even on voting, is recognized as an important issue in today's society. The publication and sharing of fake news is much easier in social media: what started as a free, independent and open source of communication, now turns out to be misused, for example, for monetary speculation and the dissemination of information for the benefit of certain subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to create a civic conscience and a concrete policy capable of fighting the manipulations present on social media by attracting attention and raising awareness on this issue among civic organisations and activists across Europe. Through this project, a group of NGOs, engaged in social work and non-formal education, wanted to focus their attention on the creation of a series of educational tools available to youth workers capable of raising awareness among young people on the issue of fake news. The experience of partner associations from Italy, Ukraine, Poland, Malta, Moldova and Albania has made it possible to address the issue of fake news from different points of view, underlining how the common problem is the lack of social media literacy among young people and the difficulty of finding verified information from reliable sources. The main objective of the project was to develop a new, viral and interesting method on social media literacy and the development of critical thinking to assess the information that young people receive from the Web. Its achievement was achieved through the use of non-formal education tools in an inclusive environment in which all participants were able to freely express their point of view. Through this project, the participants were able to: - raise awareness among young people on the issues of fake news; - discuss how fake news can be harmful to democracies; - exchange good practices and individual experiences to verify the reliability of information sources; - educate young people to fight fake news and online manipulation by giving them useful tools to verify information; - do field research with local communities to learn more about young people's perceptions of information from social media; - share knowledge and experience to develop a conscious use of the Internet; - increase personal awareness and critical thinking and data analysis skills; - compare experiences of fake news and disinformation on social media in the participating countries; - explore the opportunities of the Erasmus+ programme for young Europeans and generate new project ideas. According to the objectives of the Erasmus+ programme, the project was able to improve the professional skills of youth workers, in particular by strengthening communication skills and didactic knowledge related to the tools necessary for the development of critical thinking in young people, as well as the soft skills of youth workers. In addition, the project, through the comparison between participants from different countries, was able to promote the common values of the EU: equality, freedom, solidarity and inclusion. The project has also strengthened cooperation between the EU and third countries given the presence in the project of Albania, Moldova and Ukraine.
