The primary purpose of this project is to equip young participants with the confidence and ability to act as engaged digital citizens. They will learn to use technology ethically and critically to counter online threats. This aim responds to a significant challenge for young Europeans: despite being almost constantly connected online, they often lack the advanced critical literacy skills necessary to manage risks like disinformation, online scams, and propaganda. Various sources confirm the urgency of this need. Data from Eurostat and CEDEFOP, alongside national reports from our partner countries, highlight that young people are frequently targeted by manipulative content. Yet, they often do not possess the necessary tools to identify and resist it. Furthermore, our pre-project survey of 85 young individuals strongly supported this observation. It revealed that 78% of respondents felt unprepared to recognize sophisticated digital dangers. Our educational approach uses non-formal methods, designed to align with established European digital competence frameworks. This ensures a high-quality learning experience that meets Erasmus+ Quality Standards. To reach this overarching aim, the project will pursue the following specific objectives: 1. Develop participants' practical digital competencies by training them to use AI-powered and manual tools for fact-checking, source verification, and identifying the hallmarks of online scams and disinformation. 2. Enhance critical thinking and media literacy skills through the analysis of real-world case studies, particularly those from conflict-affected regions like Ukraine, enabling participants to deconstruct propaganda and understand its societal impact. 3. Support proactive civic engagement by guiding participants through the collaborative creation of tangible outputs, such as educational social media campaigns, a shareable digital safety toolkit, and prototypes of awareness-raising tools. 4. Promote intercultural understanding and solidarity by creating a safe space for young people from diverse backgrounds to share their national and personal experiences with digital threats, supporting a unified European approach to digital citizenship. Achieving these objectives means this youth exchange will provide a diverse group of young Europeans with essential resilience and practical skills. These are vital for navigating the digital world securely. Participants will also become responsible spreaders of knowledge in their communities, thereby contributing to a more trustworthy and democratic online environment.
