Media literacy had never been as important as it was in today's society. It had become a crucial empowerment tool to all citizens, for its role in protecting democracy, allowing full civic and political participation, and fighting inequalities. People were surrounded by different media (broadcasting, radio, press), different distribution channels (traditional, internet, social media), fake news, and disinformation campaigns. All stakeholders of the member states of the European Union had a role to help citizens, and youngsters in particular, to navigate this new information era. That was why media literacy had been at the heart of EU policies and initiatives, such as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD), the Media Literacy Expert Group, the European Media Literacy Week, and the Media Literacy Awards. For this reason, youngsters had decided to develop this project to involve young people like them on this topic and help spread awareness. This project had been an idea that had been developed after their participation in previous Youth Exchanges and local activities on the topic of media literacy and, particularly, media literacy through critical thinking. It was a topic that had been very relevant to them and their partners, and this mobility had been a chance for them, the youth in their country, and in their partners’ countries, to play an active role in this process of change-making and knowledge spreading. Media literacy development was something that have a regional, national, and European impact for social, political, and economic reasons. Their will to carry out this project had come from their true belief that the development of media literacy not only help individuals to better navigate and participate in the world, but communities to have more active citizens, countries to have critical and conscious political activity, and Europe to progress on its union and its fundamental value of whole citizenship. They had known that their project had aligned with the general objectives of the Erasmus+ programme, the specific objectives of the Key Action One and the objectives of the EU policy and actions on media literacy, as they had proceeded to explain in detail. The main aim of this project had been to help youngsters become critical media citizens, through the conscious use and participation in media, offering the tools for them to share best practices in their local communities and design programmes for the integration of minorities, promoting informal and non-formal learning among the youth field. Civic, political, and social objectives of the project had been: -Enabled youngsters to develop critical thinking towards media content, giving tools to deconstruct media communication and information. -Empowered participation in media, enabling youngsters to responsibly create media projects that reflect their goals and the needs of their communities. -Developed media literacy in the context of new players such as social media and online data protection. -Supported the creation of programmes for the integration of minorities, promoting the sharing of best practices among youngsters, partner’s stakeholders, and countries. -Encouraged political and civic participation through critical thinking in the context of media literacy development.
