The primary overarching goal of this project was to address the critical intersection between youth mental health and digital literacy in today’s media-saturated world. By implementing this project, we aimed to respond to the growing challenges young people and youth workers face in a world overwhelmed by information, rapid digitalization, and the increasing presence of artificial intelligence. Throughout our work with youth and youth workers, topics such as mental health, information overload, and critical thinking repeatedly emerged as urgent needs. Young people are increasingly exposed to vast amounts of information through social media, which significantly shapes their perceptions, emotions, and decision-making processes, often with negative consequences for their mental well-being. At the same time, youth workers frequently reported feeling insufficiently equipped with practical tools and methods to support young people in navigating these challenges. The project therefore focused on strengthening critical thinking as a key protective factor for mental health. By empowering youth workers to teach young people how to question, analyze, and evaluate information critically, the project aimed to support young people in navigating today’s media-saturated environment and strengthening their mental health resilience. To achieve our main goal, we established and successfully fulfilled the following four key objectives: -Enhanced youth workers' critical thinking skills: we successfully equipped youth workers with concrete tools, methods, and techniques. This empowered them to support young people in developing critical thinking skills, specifically regarding social media consumption and its direct impact on mental health. -Engaged youth in critical thinking through non-formal education: We demonstrated and utilized diverse, non-formal learning approaches. These allowed youth workers to actively engage young people in critical thinking exercises, with a particular focus on navigating information overload on social media and understanding the mental health implications of AI. -Fostered collaboration and knowledge sharing: We established a vibrant, collaborative space where youth workers actively exchanged ideas, experiences, and non-formal methodologies. This peer-to-peer exchange directly addressed the modern mental health challenges stemming from digital media and AI. -Developed transferable skills and tangible impact: We focused on long-term sustainability by developing practical resources, most notably the "Mind over Media" pocket guide. This tool successfully enabled participants to cascade their missing knowledge, teaching critical thinking skills to both young people and fellow colleagues, thereby fostering professional growth within their local communities. By the conclusion of the project, all indicators confirmed that the participants successfully: Gained hands-on experience with non-formal educational methods to teach critical thinking effectively, helping youth navigate the complexities of social media and AI. Acquired transferable skills and knowledge that allowed them to train other youth workers and engage young people on a deeper level, effectively strengthening resilience and mental health prevention in their respective regions.
