As the whole world battled the coronavirus pandemic, people became increasingly restless, with one rally and protest after another. The gulf between the supporters of the government and its actions and their opponents was getting deeper and deeper. The media have been widely criticised for their objective reporting. It is undeniable that the media influence us young people. The aim of the project was to remind young people about real media literacy, so that they know what is credible information, when hate speech and fake news occur. As we involved young people from six countries, each group gave an overview of the state of the media, information, the impact of politics on the media, the impact of the epidemic on the media world. We looked at how young people feel about the whole situation and the abundance of fake news and hate speech, which was particularly pronounced during the pandemic. At the same time, we asked how young people can contribute to the challenges facing the EU. The pandemic crisis has shown that digital education is extremely important. So we have put a strong emphasis on digitalisation in our project. Through the project, we have promoted tolerance among young people, reduced prejudices and stereotypes, and taught them how to identify hate speech and fake news in the domestic and international spheres. Our aim was to build on existing knowledge and to gain further invaluable experience, which will give us young people a good starting point for the future. Too often we are unaware of the powerful impact that the media and news have on humanity. The development of the media has had a profound impact on the evolution of humanity, and it is increasingly having an impact on the development of children and young people. We have encouraged young people to become active citizens, advocates of solidarity and agents of positive change, inspired by EU values and European identity. Through the youth exchange "Media is changing the world", participants from six countries encouraged young people and showed them how to identify hate speech and its forms and work towards reducing its effects. Young people need to be aware of the impact and consequences of news stories on individuals, as each of us knows an example where hateful words have "helped" a tragic act to be committed. Young people were encouraged to work as a team and to approach media content in a critical way. The youth exchange sought to find answers to how the media influence our thinking, beliefs and perception of reality. We explored how to counter hate speech and fake news, and what tools to use to do so. We have outlined the consequences of hate speech and explored what is treated as hate speech. We have tried to find the characteristics of people who spread false comments and encourage hate speech online. We have learned how to look at things differently, more broadly, so that we don't become intolerant. We spread the topic among our peers. We now know how to identify hate speech and fake news, and we can instil in others a critical view of how news is published in the media. We encouraged young people to become active citizens, advocates of solidarity and agents of positive change, inspired by EU values and European identity. We contributed to the elimination of all forms of discrimination (including in the media) and promoted the social inclusion of young people. The main objectives of the project were: to raise awareness of hate speech in the EU, to promote tolerance towards ethnic groups, other nationalities, gender, sexual orientation, race and other groups among the project participants, other members of our organisations and other target groups, to promote solidarity, to reduce prejudice, to break down stereotypes and to promote acceptance of those who are different from us. To research, learn to identify hate speech and its forms and work towards reducing its effects. Further objectives were: to encourage young people with fewer opportunities to take part in exchanges, to strengthen language skills and the contribution of knowledge, to learn more about how the media influence our thinking, to learn to judge objectively and think critically, to increase media literacy, intercultural understanding, cooperation in non-formal and formal education. We have encouraged young people's creativity in multimedia content (video and photo), active participation in society and further development towards formal and non-formal education. The youth exchange also aimed to spread the meaning of the exchange and to spread the message of the programme through events.
