ChangingTIDE aims to strengthen citizens’ resilience in the face of disinformation, information manipulation and foreign interference by promoting media literacy and empowering young people to engage in democratic processes. Placing youth at the centre of its approach, the project combines participatory learning, peer exchange and the co-creation of awareness-raising campaigns with expert-driven capacity building as well as structured dialogue with policy-makers at the local, national and EU levels.
The project is implemented across 6 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Ireland and Portugal. It will bring together diverse stakeholders through a series of national and transnational activities, such as workshops, trainings, Town Halls and a Changemakers programme, designed to give young citizens a platform to express their opinions and raise awareness about disinformation. These activities will foster cross-border exchange and support the development of a Media Literacy Toolkit, addressing contemporary disinformation challenges.
The project comprises 13 Events:
- 10 National Events: 5 Media Literacy Incubators, 5 Town Hall events
- 3 Events in Brussels: Campaign Lab, Changemakers Forum, Impact Forum and Changemakers Awards
