Technology is pivotal to human existence, reshaping society through innovations like the Internet. However, digital immersion poses challenges such as security risks and social isolation. Active citizenship, including digital citizenship, is vital, empowering individuals to effect positive change and fostering a fortified virtual community. Youth engagement programs are crucial for equipping young people with digital skills and awareness. Specific objectives include raising youth consciousness about media literacy, promoting access to accurate information, and educating them about data veracity. Additionally, efforts will focus on educating youth about human rights and encouraging advocacy at continental and local levels in Europe, using digital tools. Lastly, dissemination of knowledge about democratic principles and active youth participation in policy-making processes via digital platforms will be emphasized, cultivating an understanding of their obligations and commendable conduct
