Media literacy and tackling disinformation

Objectives

The aim of the Youth Exchange was to give young people skills and knowledge to become media literate - being able to analyze any message across different platforms and channels, understand why the author created the message and reveal hidden manipulation mechanisms in it, but also to become resistant to propaganda and populism of extremist groups and to apply critical thinking when assessing any information, they receive. Reaching this aim will help to maintain democracy in our societies as media literacy is a building stone to avoid extremism and radicalization of society. Project objectives were: - Reveal the mechanism and meaning of creating any media content and how to analyze it - Understand how propaganda and bias in media is exploited by totalitarian regimes and extremist groups - Gain skills of critical thinking when assessing any information or media content - Learn how to react on hate speech and cyberbullying on social networks - Reveal the basic rules of correct journalism
