‘#YesYou(th)Can’ was planned as a youth exchange project to mitigate the risk of media being used as a tool for the radicalization and marginalization of young people by educating them about its power to transmit information ubiquitously, shape people’s perceptions globally, start protests via platforms like Twitter or even play an undeniable role in shaping government elections. Our youth group Media Buddies, together with our partners, had discussed before how nowadays, all over the world, youngsters are manipulated, and misinformed and easily get radical and that phenomenon has drastic effects due to social media. As we acknowledge its vital role, we focused our project entirely on that sole idea. By raising awareness of using media in a positive way and promoting media literacy and critical thinking among young people, we aimed to give our participants a chance to stand against the malicious use of media platforms. Nevertheless, cyberbullying and hate crimes regarding ethnicities or sexualities are our everyday topics. And especially after pandemics that poorly affect the state’s economies, unemployment increases as well as people’s fear of unemployment, driving them to extremism and detachment from society. Whilst children are even more vulnerable as they struggle to judge the credibility of sources, thus, our next generation is exposed to be racist and homophobic and extreme in their actions. Therefore, prevention must start at an early age when values and beliefs are formed. Hate speech, xenophobia, and religious discrimination against young people of different backgrounds or other religious and ethnic communities (including refugees arriving in Europe) are increasing in social media and we believe that using social media consciously helps prevent it. We wanted to implement our project for young people by young people, using non-formal educational methods and activities to achieve the following specific objectives: - To present how media and social media affect young people, children, and our societies. - To identify and share similarities & differences in practices used in different countries in terms of Media and Media Literacy. - To develop critical thinking and resource-checking practices within society. - To promote active participation of young people by using media and social media for a good purpose. - To raise awareness of the importance of cultural diversity on local, regional, and international levels. - To involve and motivate proactively our young people to attend human rights discussions. - To inform about the refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants by using social media. - To offer the opportunity to meet partner groups and develop concrete ideas for future projects, focusing on active youth participation to avoid the next generations' radicalization. - To develop participants' skills in media content creation and video shooting, regarding the prevention of radicalization of young people and children. - To support youngsters to increase their knowledge about Erasmus + Programme and Youth Exchange projects. - To popularize the created media content to reach as many people as possible for the outcomes of our project and for the visibility of the Erasmus+ Programme.
