MEDIActive Youth: Think. Check. Act.

On the occasion of European Youth Week 2026, we are proud to share our promotional video dedicated to the importance of media literacy, critical thinking, and responsible digital engagement among young people.

In today’s fast-changing digital world, young people are surrounded by information, media influence, and new technologies. That is why the ability to think critically, check information carefully, and act responsibly has never been more important.

Through this campaign, MEDIActive Youth Network calls on young people, youth organisations, educators, and decision-makers to strengthen media literacy and support young people as informed citizens and responsible media creators.

Think critically. Check carefully. Act responsibly.

Uspešno održani diseminacioni skupovi projekta MEDIActive Youth

Projekat MEDIActive Youth: Informing the Balkans uspešno je završio svoju diseminacionu fazu kroz šest nacionalnih skupova održanih između decembra 2025. i februara 2026. godine širom regiona. Događaji su organizovani u svim partnerskim zemljama: Albaniji (Tirana), Bosni i Hercegovini (Lukavac), Hrvatskoj (Zagreb i Čakovec), Crnoj Gori (Podgorica), Severnoj Makedoniji (Kumanovo) i Srbiji (Beograd).

Ukupno je učestvovalo preko 180 predstavnika omladinskih organizacija, obrazovnih ustanova (školskih i visokoškolskih) medija, javnih institucija, kao i mladih i omladinskih radnika, čime je premašen prvobitno planirani broj učesnika. Veliko interesovanje potvrdilo je značaj tema medijske i novinske pismenosti, kritičkog mišljenja i omladinskog medijskog aktivizma u regionu.

Tokom skupova predstavljeni su ključni rezultati projekta, uključujući udžbenik i kurikulum „Razdvajanje činjenica od fikcije“, onlajn kurs razvijen na Moodle platformi, međunarodni omladinski e-magazin TYM, kao i veb-sajt i fejsbuk strana projekta, kao trajni resursi dostupni javnosti.

Evaluacije učesnika pokazale su veoma visok nivo zadovoljstva, posebno kvalitetom onlajn kursa i praktičnom vrednošću edukativnih materijala, koji su prepoznati kao spremni za primenu u formalnom i neformalnom obrazovanju.

Ovi skupovi predstavljali su završnu aktivnost projekta i važan korak ka dugoročnoj održivosti njegovih rezultata, koji ostaju dostupni kao otvoreni obrazovni resursi za mlade, edukatore i organizacije širom regiona i Evrope.
