The project Out of the Media Labyrinth (OML) was conceived and implemented by Primi Piani APS, in partnership with Rakonto (France), Poesia P’ra Todos (Portugal), ART MARKET (Latvia), Dreaming OPEnly (Germany), and Madrid Outdoor Education (Spain). Its aim was to respond to a highly relevant educational challenge: the increasingly urgent need among young Europeans to develop critical and effective tools to navigate the labyrinth of information and technologies that characterize contemporary society. Through the implementation of the project, we aimed to provide participants with concrete skills to deconstruct Fake News, develop fact-checking abilities, and promote a conscious use of media, supporting them in building independent and critical thinking. The main objective was therefore to strengthen their ability to actively analyse and interpret the content they receive, while at the same time fostering awareness and responsibility as European citizens. The project involved 36 young people from Italy, Germany, Spain, Latvia, Portugal, and France, of which at least 60% were young people with fewer opportunities. It took place at the educational farm “La Buona Terra” in Passignano sul Trasimeno, which offered an ideal context for non-formal learning and community living. Prior to the main mobility, an online APV was held in October 2024, which allowed us to coordinate with partners and group leaders and better prepare the mobility. The world of media, profoundly shaped by social networks, represents a complex context where manipulation of opinions, disinformation, and polarization frequently emerge. With OML, we wanted young people to become aware of these dynamics and find tools to approach them critically and constructively. We chose to use the allegory of Ariadne’s thread, which helps Theseus escape Minos’s labyrinth in the famous Greek myth. This narrative framework permeated the entire project experience, offering unique creative and pedagogical stimuli. Starting from a needs analysis supported by studies and scientific evidence, we set ourselves the following objectives: To educate on the dangers of opinion polarization, often fuelled by social media. To strengthen participants’ confidence in forming and expressing their own ideas and points of view. To redefine the relationship with media consumption, encouraging healthier and more conscious use of modern communication technologies. To cultivate a broader knowledge of the world and encourage more active and effective engagement in society. To develop critical thinking skills, both theoretical and practical. To reinforce cooperation and teamwork skills through collaboration in international groups. To promote self-awareness and the development of soft skills, essential for personal and professional growth. To enhance multimedia competences, with particular reference to audiovisual production, video-making, podcasting, photography, and digital design. To promote and disseminate the Erasmus+ Programme and its initiatives. To achieve these objectives, the project made use of Non-Formal Education (NFE) methodologies, drawing on experiential, creative, and expressive approaches. The allegory of Ariadne’s thread served as inspiration for developing pedagogical activities able to adapt to young people’s different learning styles and to effectively balance theory and practice. A concrete and significant result of the project was the creation of a Toolkit of good practices, developed in international groups with the support of professional video makers and journalists. The toolkit consists of 5 short films, each addressing a theme related to the project. This tool represents an educational resource not only for participants but also for local communities, schools, and youth organisations. Furthermore, OML was grounded in the principles and priorities of Erasmus+, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the European Youth Goals (EYGs), and the Youth Participation Strategy, promoting intercultural dialogue, active citizenship, and European values. OML emphasised the meeting of young people from different nationalities, fostering a non-judgmental and inclusive environment that enabled participants to discover themselves, strengthen their attitudes, and develop a deeper sense of belonging to Europe. Through OML, we wanted to create a unique educational journey that not only achieved but in some cases exceeded its objectives. The project enhanced participants’ understanding of the challenges of the contemporary media landscape and provided them with concrete tools to become more aware, active, and responsible citizens.
