About the project :
Youth nowadays live surrounded by a continuous flood of information and news. The information comes to young people from almost every app that we use. Radio, television, newspapers, social media and internet became the main sources of often false news. The fake news are misleading people and are usually causing negative attitudes and actions like hate speech or violence extremism and also can create a mist that hides the genuine and effective information. Thus it can be hard and time consuming for youth leaders and youth workers to reach out for genuine and useful information.
The objectives of the project :
• to provide educators (youth workers, teachers, mentors, youth leaders) with concrete tools to counter fake news and hate speech
•to explore the deepness of this issue in regard to fake news and hate speech using experiential learning
• to develop a tool box on “digital human rights education” (DHRE) and explore main tools at social media used in HRE
• to enhance the optimal usage of social media against fake news and hate speech
• to create a context where the participants can reflect on their own learning process, using the competences promoted by Erasmus+
