By youth exchange ‘Back to Basic: Social Media Detox’ we aimed to address the influence and the impact of social media on young people. Most young people use social media on daily bases and by this youth exchange we aimed to advance their competences to use social media in a more positive and safe way. Moreover, by this youth exchange we aimed to address some negative impacts and effects of social media e.g. cyberbullying or impact of social media on self-confidence and self-esteem of young people with aim to open discussion on these issues and to provide young people tips and recommendations to reduce these negative sides of social media. Taking in consideration the feedback from the participants during youth exchange and after it we can point out that the participants found the topic very appealing and useful because how many of them agreed ‘social media are a big part of their lives’. Youth exchange ‘Back to Basic: Social Media Detox’ was implemented with aim to reach following objectives: - Raising awareness of participants on the influence of social media on behaviour with special focus to be paid to self- esteem and self-confidence; - Increasing participant’s competencies to protect themselves on social media and use social media in a positive way for own benefit; - Making participants familiar with different approaches to social media and to support their critical view of social media; - Developing participant’s competencies such as communication in English, teamwork in a mix-intercultural team, problem-solving, conflict management; - Increasing participant’s knowledge on Erasmus+ Programme and to support creating new project ideas addressing participant’s needs; - Sharing lessons learned during youth exchange through online media and ‘face to face’ activities in involved communities to open critical debate on social media in participant’s communities.
