Objectives

Ever increasing social media usage of young people have inspired project participants to create a project that would help young people prepare and understand dangers that lurk in these networks. Even though social media presents young people with new and exciting opportunities, in order to use them, young people had to develop certain level of media literacy. Unfortunately, not many people have acquired this level of literacy which was one of key motivations for participants to develop this project. The project has highlighted several areas: 1. Media literacy, including fake news 2. Impact of social media on mental health, including bullying 3. Dangers of social media. Objectives of the project were following: 1. to help young people raise their level of critical media literacy and increase their civic engagement 2. to improve mental health of young people
