The internet is mainly used for communication, work, research, university, leisure time – for basically all spheres of life. Social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram play a crucial role in the life of youngsters. Sharing personal information, documents, photos and locations are an integral part of the life of many young people. The younger generation can be described as digital natives. And although they are familiar with new technologies, they can also become victims very fast. Online tools and services offer great opportunities for personal and professional life and development, but they can involve many threats and can endanger the well-being of young people in different ways. Examples are: cyber-bullying, hate speech, loss of personal data and privacy rights, data theft, exposure to fake news, etc. Because of these reasons we believe that it is important to increase the level of media literacy of youngsters by informing them about the way of using digital media and to reach out to youngsters with means of digital youth work. Media literate young people are better able to understand the complex messages received from various media (television, Internet, magazine, books), are able to analyze these messages and adequately respond by using media to attack a person or a group. Moreover, there is direct link between media literacy and ability to identify hate speech, discrimination and racism in media messages. It means that by raising media literacy of young people were are increasing capacities of young people to address hate speech, discrimination and racism and to contribute in creating more socially inclusive society.
