"You Dont Fool Me!" is a youth exchange that took place in Thassos, Greece 17-26/10/2022. 42 young participants were (+6 leaders) from Greece, Latvia, Italy, Spain, Germany and Finland. We discussed and shared good practices on how to avoid fake news and disinformation. The issue of disinformation and particularly fake news have lately become infamously popular in the world: fake news even scored as one of the most used new expressions of the year 2017 (Collins Dictionary). It has a huge power to change how young people think, behave and feel. Especially nowadays with COVID situation, fake news was all around the web spreading panic to the European societies and found youth unprepared in a difficult situation.Although the notion of fake news and disinformation dates back many tens of centuries, in the 21st century it has acquired a new powerful tool–the internet, that made it even more influential and encompassing.Social networks and social messaging have even further enhanced the spread of fake news. The groups most susceptible to falling for fake news are seniors and Youth. In our project You Don't Fool Me! We aimed to help young participants learn how to improve their skills in recognising disinformation from facts, manipulation from objective reality and developing their critical thinking. The EU is founded on universal values like freedom, democracy and respect for human rights and yet many of these essential values get downtrodden everyday by the unscrupulous manipulators. Europeans can do better and especially the young ones can lead by example. They just needed the proper knowledge, useful tips and practiced sensitivity to disinformation and manipulation. The project aims were to increase their knowledge in this area,it seeks to help them define the major notions and comprehend them, understand the implications of fake news and disinformation in real life, and recognise the disparate forms disinformation can take. Participants learned about the methods of how to debunk fake news and how to counter them. During various thematic workshops we used different approaches, techniques, NFL methods to get participants more involved about the main topic of the project exchange- disinformation, fake news and manipulation. Daily feedback received from the participants themselves served as an important guidance tool for our customisation of workshops and teaching processes to fully develop their potential and grasp the chosen project’s subject matters.
