The main goal of the project is to strengthen young people’s critical thinking and media literacy while promoting the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. Considering that young people are constantly exposed to vast amounts of information, misinformation, and algorithmically generated content, there is a risk of becoming accustomed to “ready-made answers,” which can reduce independent thinking, argumentation skills, and creativity. Within this project, we aim for AI to serve as a supportive tool that helps analyze, verify, and create content, rather than replace young people’s own judgment and creative work. From a youth work perspective, this exchange will provide participants with opportunities to develop specific skills essential for quality and inclusive peer engagement. During the project, the following objectives will be achieved: Develop the ability to analyze information, distinguish facts from opinions, and verify source reliability. Train argumentation, recognition of logical fallacies, and constructive discussion skills. Understand how AI and algorithms influence information “bubbles,” attention, and decision-making. Practically compare working with and without AI to recognize both benefits and risks for critical thinking. Foster creativity by using AI as an inspiration tool while maintaining authorship and original ideas. Develop youth-created “Responsible AI Use” guidelines or a mini-campaign for peers. The project aligns directly with the objectives of the Erasmus+ program and the broader international context, including the UN Sustainable Development Goal 17 – fostering collaboration between countries, communities, and young people. By developing young people’s critical thinking, media literacy, and responsible AI use, the project promotes access to information, constructive dialogue, and digital competencies essential for addressing 21st-century challenges. Simultaneously, the youth exchange provides opportunities to nurture creativity, independent judgment, and problem-solving skills, directly supporting youth work goals – ensuring quality learning, intercultural collaboration, and access to non-formal education, while promoting active civic engagement and solidarity among young people across different countries. The planned workshops and group activities will encourage practical creative problem-solving, knowledge and experience exchange, and enhance participants’ autonomy and initiative, all of which are key elements of quality youth work. Overall, the project will enable young people not only to strengthen their digital and critical thinking skills but also to prepare for responsible roles in their communities and youth work practice, fostering a high-quality, critically reflective, and creative approach to learning and everyday decision-making.
