🧭 About the Project

In an increasingly digital world, young people are constantly exposed to information, trends, and online influences that shape the way they think, communicate, and act. Helping them navigate this complex reality critically and responsibly is one of the biggest challenges youth workers face today.

“From Clicks to Critical Thinking” is an international Erasmus+ Training Course that aims to strengthen the capacities of youth workers, educators, and mentors to support young people in developing digital literacy, critical thinking, and digital well-being.

Through a dynamic and engaging learning experience, participants will explore how to address issues such as disinformation, fake news, social media pressure, and online manipulation, while also reflecting on how digital spaces affect young people’s identity, self-esteem, and mental health.

The training will empower youth workers to act as mentors and role models in the digital era, guiding young people towards a more conscious, ethical, and creative use of technology.

🎯 Project Objectives

The course is designed to:

• Strengthen digital literacy and critical thinking among youth workers.

• Build skills to support young people’s digital well-being.

• Promote non-formal education methods to address digital challenges.

• Empower youth workers as mentors and role models in the digital world.

• Foster international cooperation and the exchange of good practices.

• Contribute to the professional development of youth workers across Europe.

💡 Topics and Learning Approach

Participants will work on key themes such as:

• Critical thinking and digital literacy.

• Disinformation, fake news, and online manipulation.

• The influence of social media, influencers, and online trends on young people’s identity and mental health.

• Creative non-formal learning tools for digital well-being.

The training will follow an experiential and participatory approach, based on non-formal education. Activities will include interactive workshops, group discussions, role plays, simulations, and collaborative creation of media campaigns. Reflection moments and peer learning will ensure that participants can apply what they learn to their own local contexts.
