What it’s all about

“Marginalized Youth Against Disinformation” empowers rural youth from Ukraine and Armenia to spot, challenge, and counter false narratives. We blend practical online learning with collaboration and cultural exchange so young people build real media literacy, civic confidence, and a supportive cross‑border network.

Across 2025, participants take part in local‑language online workshops (May–Aug), co‑create resources and stories on an open digital platform (Jun–Nov), and conclude with a 17‑day Berlin–Paris exchange (Oct 24–Nov 9). The project centers inclusion and gender equality (≥50% women), and keeps outcomes open and usable beyond 2025.

  • • Hands‑on workshops: verification, ethical storytelling, and digital safety
  • • Open platform: youth media, toolkits, and peer learning
  • • Exchange in Berlin & Paris: practice, dialogue, and cultural immersion
  • • Sustainability: resources remain available; the youth network keeps growing
