MOTIVATION Recent digital advances have ensured widespread access to information, bringing several advantages. However, this ease of sharing has led to the spread of false information and news, resulting in a state of misinformation with unpredictable repercussions in the lives of young people. The European Commission has described disinformation as "a challenge (...) with a high potential to influence democratic processes and social debates. Its growing adverse effects on societies in the European Union require a coordinated, joint and sustainable approach to combat it" (Action Plan Against Disinformation 2019). This problem is especially relevant in young people, who are in the formation phase of their personality. Exposure to fake content can mean that they are shaping their perceptions, beliefs, attitudes and values based on false assumptions. According to the Center for Safe Internet, fake news can have serious consequences on the reputation of a person who is the target of it, causing various complications. In addition, "fake news" is intentionally created to trigger extreme and negative emotional states, fueling online hate speech, cyberbullying, and the disclosure and misuse of personal data, among other problems. REASON We wanted to carry out this project as a way to combat the problem of social exclusion associated with low levels of PML and participation, through the development of media literacy skills and participation in young people aged 13 to 30 years, since youth is a crucial stage of their development and where they begin contact with the media and the online world with more autonomy. We worked mainly through the methodology of non-formal education (NFE), so that they become more informed, active, less susceptible to misinformation and exclusion. At the local level, the intervention took place with approximately 20 young people from each country, 6 of whom participated in the Youth Exchange (YI). This activity facilitated contact with young people from different backgrounds, some of whom had fewer opportunities (FO), enhancing learning for all and generating impacts. SOCIAL PROBLEM Social exclusion associated with low levels of Media Literacy and youth participation. NEEDS: -Development of media literacy (ML), digital, citizenship, multilingual, personal, social and "learning to learn" skills for an effective fight against misinformation, promotion of their participation and experience of European citizenship; -Quality interventions in safe, accessible, open and autonomous spaces for the development of these competencies; -Representativity and participation in formal and informal organizations and in the media (new and traditional). OBJECTIVES General: - To contribute to combating the problem of social exclusion associated with ML and participation issues in young people. Specific: -Promote ML and civic participation skills and essential skills for lifelong learning (LLL) in young participants. -Decrease levels of misinformation and the spread of fake news in youth participants. -Increase the levels of participation and representativeness of young people in formal and informal bodies at local, national and European levels.
