The project "Media Literacy Empowered - new methodologies in youth work," led by KOM 018 from Serbia in partnership with Beyond Borders from Italy, SEDI from Lithuania, Dream Colors from Czech Republic, ADO from France, COHOPE from Spain, CJ from Portugal, Just do it from Poland, and YES from Bulgaria, achieved its goals by addressing critical gaps in media literacy education amid the rapidly evolving digital landscape. KOM 018 and partners empowered youth workers with innovative tools to safeguard young people from disinformation, fake news and harmful content, which affect vulnerable young people. Building on the sustainability plan of the prior KA2 “Media Literacy Empowered” project, the initiative transferred youth friendly methodologies to a new generation of educators, ensuring widespread adoption across nine European countries. The overall objectives were designed to tackle both social challenges and organizational needs. First achieved objective was to enhance the media literacy skills of 27 youth workers and peer educators through intensive training on the Media Literacy Empowered Guidelines. The training equipped youth workers and peer educators with creative tools for non-formal education, focusing on evaluating information credibility, recognizing disinformation and promoting ethical media consumption. Participants gained practical skills to lead workshops that foster critical thinking among youth. Second objective was to transfer innovative methodologies from the previous project to the diverse group of youth workers and peer educators across Europe. This ensured the guidelines amplification, contributing to professional development and elevating media literacy education quality on a larger audience. Third was to foster critical thinking and responsible media navigation among young people. By training youth workers to deliver targeted workshops, the initiative created a multiplier effect, enabling a higher number of youth to better discern media manipulation, hate speech and unethical narratives that distort perceptions and behaviors. Finally, the project built the capacity of nine youth organizations to implement robust media literacy programs. Many partners lacked resources for comprehensive initiatives; this project provided tested methodologies, strengthening their programming and long-term engagement with youth on digital safety. These objectives responded to dual needs: the broader social issues of media manipulation impact on youth in the digital age and the specific capacity gaps in NGOs. The rapid spread of disinformation requires well-prepared youth workers, and the project addressed this need by providing concrete, sustainable and easily transferable tools for daily youth work practice. Ultimately, KOM 018 and partners established a network of empowered youth workers continuing media literacy education on the local level, promoting informed citizenship and resilience against digital threats.
