2022
With the help of non-formal education approaches, the participants discussed most common types of misinformation and fakes, which news resources can be considered as credible, which news to share and which not, and learned basic instruments of verifying information.
The aim of the workshops was to increase awareness of local young people on media literacy and how to expose disinformation, to multiply the instruments developed within the project on the local levels. The participants of the activities were young people – those who don’t have regular training on media literacy and critical thinking in their educational curriculum.

their region regarding the need to further develop education in media literacy and critical thinking among young people.
