Digital Discernment: Navigating Social Media and Propaganda

Digital Disinformation

"Digital Discernment: Navigating Social Media and Propaganda" project addresses the urgent issue of misinformation and propaganda on social media, which significantly impacts young people's ability to responsibly engage in the digital sphere. The spread of misinformation and propaganda not only undermines critical thinking and decision-making but also hinders civic engagement. This challenge is particularly relevant in the project's target countries: Jordan, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, and Italy. Recognizing the vulnerability of youth to digital misinformation, the project aims to empower them with critical digital literacy skills. By equipping young individuals with the tools to critically evaluate and responsibly navigate digital content, the initiative supports the broader objective of promoting informed civic participation and fostering responsible digital citizenship. The increasing centrality of information and communication technology in young people's lives underscores the project's relevance, as they heavily rely on online information for their worldview, often lacking adequate guidance to navigate the risks of digital misinformation. The project underscores the vital role of educational institutions in providing these essential skills, given the limitations parents may face in keeping pace with their children's online activities.
