The BEST project aimed to increase the capacity of youth workers to carry out activities that develop young people's skills to identify fake news and motivate them to get involved in combating this phenomenon. For the project to achieve its goal, we had set 4 main objectives. O1. "Improving the skills of 12 youth workers from partner organizations in recognizing and combating fake news through 2 transnational learning and exchange of good practices activities to create and use the BEST learning kit". O2. "Developing a responsible behavior towards the spread of fake news for 60 young people (G2) through testing workshops and using the BEST kit." O3. "Empowering 40 youth workers (G3) from organizations involved in youth education (different from members of the partnership) with skills that would enable them to use the BEST kit in youth activities. " O4. "Raising awareness of at least 1000 young people about the danger generated by the spread of fake news through 4 campaigns coordinated by the partnership members. " O5. "Creation of the BEST network at the European level from organizations involved in educating young people to combat fake news."
The project "BE SMART, BE TOLERANT!" (BEST) aimed to develop a training kit for young people and youth workers to better respond to the challenges posed by the phenomenon of the spread of fake news that affects us more and more frequently. Our goal was to provide youth workers with an innovative training tool, BEST, to foster young people's critical thinking and motivate them to combat fake news and become active and impleicated European citizens. The kit, consisting of 3 chapters and 4 animated films, was tested with the help of youth workers and young people from the partner countries in learning and testing workshops to meet their need to understand the phenomenon of fake news propagation. Our aim was to inspire and raise awareness among as many people as possible, particularly young people and those involved in their education. This is why we organized the dissemination of the project results in 4 multiplier events and awareness campaigns that reached over 1000 young people from the partner countries
