The implementation of the project “#Social Media and You” pursued the goal of raising young people’s awareness of their use of social media and empowering them to engage in responsible, reflective, and critical media consumption. The project aimed to demonstrate to participants the impact that unreflective social media use can have both on individuals and on society as a whole, as well as on democratic discourse. A central objective was to empower young people to understand and critically examine the mechanisms of social media, such as content personalization, filter bubbles, and echo chambers. In doing so, the project sought to strengthen their media literacy and digital skills, as well as their ability to critically evaluate information encountered on social platforms, particularly with regard to targeted disinformation. At the same time, participants were encouraged to understand the role of the European Union and how European policy influences their everyday lives. Another key objective was to actively involve young people by enabling them to independently develop creative and informative poster exhibitions on the overarching topic of social media. These exhibitions were intended to be presented at their schools and addressed to fellow students, with the aim of raising awareness not only among the participants themselves but across the entire school community about the risks and societal consequences of unreflective social media use. Through the process of independently developing the posters and subsequently presenting them, the content was to be internalized in a sustainable manner and discussions within the school community were to be initiated. In addition, the project sought to strengthen connections between young people and political decision-makers. Political representatives were invited to attend the presentation of the posters in order to gain insights into the perspectives, learning experiences, and ideas of the participants regarding the promotion of media literacy. This was intended to initiate dialogue between young people and policymakers and to foster mutual understanding. Finally, the project aimed to offer participants an interactive, informative, and motivating project day that enriched their school routine and combined learning with enjoyment. In the long term, the project sought to stimulate public debate on social media use, empower young people to become responsible users, and use the project outcomes as a foundation for a larger, Europe-wide follow-up initiative.
