The final goal of our project is to provide a complex knowledge of democracy and socio-economic issues, for Hungarian young people, which will help them to better understand the foundations of participatory democracy, such as solidarity-based civic life, community thinking, and the possibility of a community budget. , deliberative decision-making or digital democracy. Through this knowledge, participants will create their own projects to increase the activity of their own community. We want participants to pass on their own knowledge to others later in an informal way. They can create educational, participatory, artistic, or other programs that demonstrate an alternative model of democracy based on knowledge and participation that, in the long run, can result in a higher quality, more people-orientated democratic culture. Hungarian democratic culture is highly dependent on the elitist, limitedly democratic political socialization of recent decades and centuries. Fear of politics and alienation has become natural for the younger generations, young people today are less likely to have a say in public life, and domestic research shows that they are very divided, dissatisfied and politically conformist. We believe there are three main reasons for this 1, the bad patterns of socialization that lead youth at home, at school, or in their own community, 2, the presumed lack of knowledge that we believe is needed to have a say in politics, and the polarized information space that stifles dialogue, 3, and the resulting image of elitist democracy that repels young people. The latter problem is particularly important in the 21st century. century, as our daily lives and social media also provide the opportunity for continuous speech and continuous participation - or the illusion of it - so the system, which is basically based on passivity, is not attractive to them. Young people need experiences that can change all three issues. We want to organize a program for young people that 1, can create a socialization environment that encourages them to learn and cultivate politics, 2, gives them relevant theoretical and practical knowledge that gives them confidence in cultivating politics. The primary goal is not to increase the knowledge transferred in the frontal way, but to help them use their own knowledge in politics. It is important for knowledge to be multifaceted, to illuminate problems from multiple perspectives, but to move away from extreme polarization and go back to the basic values of the Enlightenment, rational dialogue, the groundwork of humanism, reason and science that can advance humanity, 3, give young people a bottom-up image of democracy based on digitalisation and everyday activism, which is both a means to an end and a goal worth working at ever-increasing levels. Although we have infinite amounts of raw data, we have fewer and fewer tools to transform the fragmented information space into a coherent worldview. Meanwhile, in our age, the consensus from the Enlightenment is broken that we are trying to talk about public affairs in a rational dialogue, separating facts and values. Our answer to the problem outlined above is to present scientific knowledge and the position of researchers and scientists of our time on various issues to the general public, and to give space for dialogue based on rational debate. Although science is not free from prejudice, and scientific knowledge always carries a kind of contingency - so far, the best models of the world have been created by humanity in this way. We hope that the promotion of science and the transfer of scientific knowledge will help us orient ourselves in the world, give people a sense of control on a personal level, increase the opportunity for rational dialogue, and steer us towards more responsible collective and individual decisions. The XXI. In the 21st century, our goal in the sea of disinformation is to provide young people with the confidence and knowledge to stand up for democracy in word and deed in the long term. The phenomenon of fake news can exacerbate the democratic deficit problems outlined above, destabilize people in their own right, and undermine faith in democracy. In the fight against disinformation, it is not the transfer of specific knowledge that is most important, but the sharing of a vision and information processing methodology that allows them to process the news themselves later and distinguish fake news from actual news.
