Fake news is all around us, and while young people have turned their back on mainstream media, the situation is not better in the digital world. It is very hard to control fake news and propaganda so media consumers need to be equipped with the knowledge to cross check resources, critically engage, analyze media by asking deeper questions about what lies behind it. Youngsters mostly engage with media in an intuitive way and they often lack the insight, judgment and experience to critically and safely engage with its various forms. Opportunities and risks connected to media use by young people are the reason for the current increase in attention for Media Literacy in education. Empowering the capacities of youth and their personal and professional development is much relevant to strengthen the quality of civil society and ensure broader impact. Getting acquainted with Media Literacy and Civic Journalism is very important for promoting values, beliefs and attitudes that encourage all individuals to act as advocates of spreading and receiving unbiased and real information. And this is exactly the purpose of this Youth Exchange: to turn participants into social and civic journalists, get acquainted with the culture of media literacy, and learn how to create digital media productions on contemporary issues. The objectives of this Youth Exchange are the following: 1. Develop critical thinking and media literacy skills to question, evaluate and analyze what we listen and read. 2. Deepen our knowledge on information verification. 3. Learn our rights and limitations when using the online space. 4. Encourage young people to become active, engaged media consumers and users. 5. Increase youth participation through civic journalism to strengthen the basis of democracy. 6. Facilitate networking and further co-operation between participants and their organizations for issues concerning Media Literacy across EU members and neighboring countries. During the 8 days of the Youth Exchange, 35 participants from Greece, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Spain and Italy will work together to become active citizens by using the new possibilities that technology can offer. During the mobility, participants will gain knowledge and skills on how to create podcast episodes, a skill that will enable them to engage as active citizens and media creators, influence their communities and policies and strengthen democratic participation. This idea is in line with the main objective of the Erasmus+ Programme where it emphasizes the importance of digital education, the increased need to harness the potential of digital technologies and to develop digital skills. Also, in line with the strategic priorities of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), this exchange aims to engage young people and youth workers in the path to digital transformation, as it will enhance digital skills as well as digital literacy, which has become essential for everyday life, for enabling people to navigate a world full of algorithms and participate fully in civil society and democracy. The activities will include team-building activities, simulation games, role plays, workshops and specialized sessions, role plays etc. using non-formal education methods.
