What Do Young Danes Actually Think About AI, Fake News and Deepfakes? 🇩🇰

We often hear that young people are the generation most exposed to misinformation.

They scroll through TikTok and Instagram, encounter AI-generated images and videos, follow influencers, consume news and take part in political discussions — often all within the same digital feed.

But instead of talking "about" young people, perhaps we should start" listening to them".

📱 A New Digital Reality

For young people today, the internet is not simply a place they visit. It is part of everyday life.

The challenge is no longer simply finding information.

It is knowing what to trust.

AI has made this even more complicated. Images, voices and videos can now be created or manipulated within seconds.

Seeing is no longer always believing.

🤖 Stop. Think. Check.

During the Nordic Youth Media Lab, young people from across the Nordic-Baltic region explored misinformation, AI, deepfakes, algorithms and fact-checking.

One of the most important lessons was surprisingly simple:

Pause before you react.

Before sharing a post, ask:

🔎 Who created it?

🧠 Why was it created?

❓ What is it trying to make me feel?

📚 Can I find the same information somewhere else?

These might seem like simple questions, but in a digital environment designed to make us react quickly, **stopping to think can be a powerful skill.**

🛡️ From Fear to Confidence

The goal should not be to make young people afraid of AI or social media.

It should be to give them the confidence and knowledge to navigate them independently.

As one young Danish participant reflected during the project:

> “I’m responsible for what I share.”

That responsibility matters.

Every like, comment and share can help information travel further — whether it is true, misleading or completely false.

🗳️ This Is About More Than Social Media

Media literacy is not only about spotting fake news.

It is about democracy.

If young people cannot distinguish between reliable information and manipulation, how can they make informed decisions, participate in public debate or hold others accountable?

Young people are not simply consumers of information.

They are creators, voters, communicators and future decision-makers.

🌍 The Question We Should Be Asking

The question is not:

"Can young people tell what is real?”

The better question is:

“Have we given young people the tools they need to figure it out?”

The future will not belong to those who blindly trust AI — or those who are afraid of it.

It will belong to people who know how to **question, verify, think critically and make their own decisions.**

💬 What do you think?

Should we focus more on protecting young people from misinformation — or on giving them the skills to navigate it themselves?

Beyond the Feed: What Danish Youth Can Teach Europe About Digital Citizenship

In a world shaped by algorithms, misinformation and artificial intelligence, Denmark is discovering that digital citizenship is no longer an optional skill. It is becoming a cornerstone of democracy.

📱The Generation That Never Logs Off.

For today's teenagers, the internet is not a place they visit. It is the environment in which they grow up.

The first news story of the day is rarely found on the front page of a newspaper. Instead, it appears between videos, photographs, memes and recommendations carefully selected by algorithms.

Entertainment, political debate, advertising and personal communication now exist within the same digital stream. Everything competes for attention—and everything asks to be believed.

The real question is no longer whether young people have access to information. They have more information than any previous generation. The challenge is whether they can distinguish between information, persuasion, manipulation and entertainment.

🤖Living Inside the Algorithm.

Most people understand that social media platforms use algorithms. Far fewer understand how deeply these systems influence daily life.

Algorithms decide which stories receive attention, which opinions spread rapidly and which creators become influential. Their goal is engagement—not democratic balance.

Over time, two people living in the same city may experience entirely different versions of reality because each feed has been personalised.

👁️The Invisible Editor of Modern Life.

Unlike newspapers or television, social media has no editor deciding what deserves public attention.

Invisible algorithms constantly shape what users see, click and share. Understanding these hidden processes is becoming an essential part of digital citizenship.

🎭The Rise of Synthetic Reality.

Artificial intelligence has made it possible to generate convincing images, voices and videos within minutes.
For young people, seeing is no longer always believing. Media literacy now includes the ability to question whether digital content is authentic before accepting or sharing it.

🛡️Denmark's Response: Building Resilience Instead of Fear.

Rather than portraying young people as victims of technology, Denmark increasingly focuses on strengthening their ability to navigate the digital world independently.

The goal is not to shield young people from every misleading post but to equip them with the skills to recognise manipulation, evaluate sources and participate responsibly online.

🗳️Democracy Depends on More Than Access to Information.

Modern democracies no longer struggle primarily with access to information. Instead, they face the challenge of helping citizens distinguish trustworthy information from sophisticated manipulation.

For younger generations, this ability is becoming one of the defining democratic competencies of the twenty-first century.

🎓Digital Citizenship Is a Skill That Must Be Learned.

Using social media every day does not automatically create media literacy.

Digital citizenship is a competence that must be learned through education, discussion and practice. Young people are not only consumers of information—they are active participants in the digital public sphere.

🤝Trust as Denmark's Greatest Digital Strength.

Trust has long been one of Denmark's defining characteristics.

Artificial intelligence and misinformation challenge that trust, making critical reflection, transparency and responsible communication more important than ever.

🌎Young People Are Not Only the Audience—They Are the Future.

Young people are future journalists, teachers, engineers, entrepreneurs and policymakers.
The digital habits they develop today will shape tomorrow's democratic culture.

🔎Looking Beyond the Screen.

Technology will continue to evolve, but the values that sustain democratic societies remain constant: curiosity, responsibility, critical thinking, empathy and open dialogue.

Digital citizenship matters because it prepares young people not only to navigate the internet but also to participate responsibly in democracy.

💡Conclusion.

Denmark's experience suggests that the most effective response to rapid technological change is not to slow innovation but to strengthen people's ability to think critically.
Technology will continue to transform communication, but democracy will always depend on informed citizens capable of questioning, reflecting and acting responsibly.

Beyond ChatGPT: How Danish Schools Are Teaching a Generation to Think in the Age of AI

Artificial intelligence is changing education faster than almost anyone expected.

ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and similar tools can now explain complex topics, structure essays, translate languages, summarise texts and generate ideas within seconds.

So what should students learn when the answer is only one click away?

In Denmark, an important conversation is taking place.

Rather than asking only “How do we keep AI out of the classroom?”, educators are increasingly asking a more important question:

“How do we make sure AI helps students think better — not less?”

🇩🇰 From digital skills to digital judgement

Denmark is one of the world's highly digitalised societies. For young people, digital technology is already a natural part of everyday life.

But artificial intelligence creates a new challenge.

AI can provide answers that sound convincing even when they contain mistakes, missing context or completely fabricated information.

That means the most important skill is no longer simply knowing how to find information.

It is knowing how to question it.

Students need to learn to compare AI-generated answers with reliable sources, recognise uncertainty, challenge assumptions and form their own conclusions.

💡 AI literacy is becoming democratic literacy

This goes beyond the classroom.

Young people increasingly receive information through algorithms and AI-powered platforms. Understanding who created information, why it appears in front of us and whether it can be trusted is becoming an essential part of being an informed citizen.

Media literacy and AI literacy are therefore becoming increasingly connected.

👩‍🏫 The role of teachers is changing too

Teachers are no longer simply the people who provide information.

They increasingly become guides who help students explore ideas, question answers, discuss ethical dilemmas and develop independent judgement.

AI can generate an argument.

But it cannot decide what values should guide our society.

AI can summarise history.

But it cannot replace our responsibility to understand and interpret it.

AI can produce an answer.

But education should teach young people to ask whether it is the right answer.

🌱 Beyond efficiency

Schools are not simply places where we prepare people to become efficient workers.

They are places where future citizens learn how to think, participate, question and take responsibility.

The goal should therefore not be to compete with artificial intelligence.

The goal should be to educate people who know:

When to use AI.
When to question AI.
And when to trust their own reasoning instead.

Denmark does not have all the answers. But the discussion taking place in Danish education offers an important lesson for all of us:

The future of AI in education is not only about technology. It is about the kind of citizens and society we want to build.

💬 What do you think?

Should schools focus more on teaching students how to use AI — or how to think critically about AI?

Code, Compassion, and Conscience: How Youth Devs Are Reimagining AI for Social Impact

While mainstream media remains hyper-focused on the existential threats of artificial intelligence, a quiet revolution is brewing in bedrooms and hackathons across the Nordic and Baltic regions.

A new generation of young developers is refusing to view AI purely as a commercial tool. Instead, they are treating it as open-source social infrastructure to solve real-world problems.

Here is how youth-led initiatives are making a difference:

🌱 Combatting Climate Change: In the Baltics, young developers have built lightweight apps using computer vision algorithms on public satellite data. They track illegal logging and trash dumping in regional forests in near-real-time—turning what used to take weeks of physical patrols into instant digital alerts.

🌍 Overcoming Language Barriers: In Finland, youth volunteers are utilizing open-source language models to translate complex, bureaucratic integration documents into simplified formats for refugees and immigrants, bypassing expensive legal translation barriers.

✊ Democratizing Tech: What makes this wave of activism different is its commitment to open-source ethics. Young social developers are putting their code on GitHub for free, proving that you don’t need a multi-billion-dollar budget to make the world a slightly fairer place.

AI isn't just about automated tasks; in the right hands, it’s a tool for empathy.

🕵️‍♂️ BS-Detection in 60 Seconds: The Ultimate Lazy Guide to Fact-Checking Your Feed

Let’s be real: nobody has time to read a 10-page investigative report when scrolling at 2 AM. But since your feed is currently a battleground of AI-generated deepfakes, out-of-context clips, and "expert" advice from creators who bought their degrees on Canva, you need a quick defense mechanism.

You can spot 90% of online lies in exactly 60 seconds. Save this quick-fire checklist for the next time a post makes you double-take:

⏱ 0:00 - 0:15 | The Emotional Vibe Check
Is the video making you incredibly angry, terrified, or smugly satisfied? Stop. Rage-baiting and panic-posting are the oldest tricks in the algorithm book. If a 15-second clip is begging for your outrage, it’s usually hiding a lie.

⏱ 0:15 - 0:30 | The "Receipts" Inspection
Look at the source. If a creator says, "According to a new study..." but doesn't name the university or link the paper, they probably made it up. If they say, "Everyone is talking about this," but the only source is another TikTok, keep scrolling.

⏱ 0:30 - 0:45 | The Reverse Image Sweep
Screenshot a suspicious frame or photo. Throw it into Google Lens or TinEye. Did that "active war zone" photo actually come from a video game trailer released in 2021? (Spoiler: It usually does).

⏱ 0:45 - 1:00 | The Comments Section Audit
Never underestimate the power of internet sleuths. Scroll down. If the post is fake, the top comments are usually calling it out with links or Community Notes. If the comments are turned off or filtered? Huge red flag.

Don't let cheap edits play you. Spend that one minute. It’s worth it. 🛡️

AI-Driven Information Warfare: Disinformation and Youth Cognitive Resilience

On 30 April 2026, young people, students, youth workers, and young leaders participated in an engaging online training dedicated to one of the most pressing challenges of the digital age — AI-driven disinformation and manipulation.

Participants explored how fake news, deepfakes, bots, emotional propaganda, and algorithmic influence shape online spaces and impact decision-making. Through practical exercises, discussions, and fact-checking challenges, they learned how to recognize manipulation techniques, verify information, and strengthen their cognitive resilience.

Interactive activities such as the "Spot the Fake" Challenge and the "Pause – Think – Verify" Team Exercise helped participants develop critical thinking skills and practical tools for navigating today's complex information environment.

💬 "The training helped me understand how emotions are often used to manipulate people online and gave me practical tools to think more critically before reacting or sharing content."

The workshop reinforced an important message: in the age of AI, media literacy is not just knowledge — it is a form of self-defense.

07/06/2026

On 27 March 2026, participants from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Estonia joined the first Nordic Youth Media Lab training: “From Theory to Operational Defense: Master Information Resilience.”

During the interactive online session, young journalists, content creators, and civic actors explored how disinformation spreads, learned practical verification techniques, and strengthened their information resilience skills. The highlight of the training was the live “Detect and Debunk” simulation, where participants worked together to identify false information and respond to a simulated information attack.

The workshop provided practical tools for navigating today’s complex information environment and supporting democratic resilience across the Nordic-Baltic region.

💬 “The simulation exercise made the challenges of misinformation feel real and showed how important critical thinking is in the digital age.”

Towards Sustainable Food Systems: Nordic-Baltic Cooperation for a Greener Future (https://food.sscw.ee/)

The international project “Towards Sustainable Food Systems – the Nordic-Baltic Civil Society Approach” successfully brought together civil society organisations, youth representatives, educators, experts and community leaders from across the Nordic and Baltic region to strengthen awareness about sustainable food systems, healthy lifestyles and responsible consumption.

The project was implemented in cooperation with Green Habito RY (Finland), UngOrg (Norway), Compass (Denmark), Möllans Basement (Sweden), PEPP (Iceland), Talent City (Latvia) and Sillamäe Society for Child Welfare (Estonia), with support from the Nordic Council of Ministers.

The project focused on environmental, social and economic sustainability, promoting sustainable food production, reduction of food waste, circular economy principles, healthy nutrition and community-based green initiatives. Particular attention was given to empowering young people and civil society organisations as active promoters of sustainable lifestyles and green transition within their communities.

The programme included international trainings, study visits, expert meetings, workshops, conferences and practical activities across Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia. The project activities involved more than 261 participants from the Nordic and Baltic countries, including youth, educators, NGO representatives, sustainability experts and community leaders.

The project began with an international online seminar and partner meeting in May 2025, where participants discussed the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Nordic Vision 2030 and human-rights-based approaches to sustainable food systems. The virtual meeting gathered 30 participants from across the region.

The first international training took place in Helsinki and Vantaa, Finland, in June 2025 and focused on sustainable food systems, healthy lifestyles, Nordic food culture and environmentally responsible consumption. Experts from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Estonia shared experiences related to school nutrition, sustainable gardening, food waste reduction and community awareness. During the training, partners also started developing the practical international guidebook “Towards Sustainable Food Systems: A Guidebook for CSOs, Youth and Educators”.

In August 2025, participants gathered in Malmö and Lund, Sweden, for a training and study visit dedicated to sustainable food systems, green consumption and climate-smart food policies. Participants visited universities, sustainable food initiatives and agroecology farms while learning about responsible consumption, plant-based food transition, food waste reduction and environmentally friendly event organisation.

An international expert meeting “Sustainable Food Transition” was organised in November 2025 at Aalborg University and Folkevirke in Denmark. International experts discussed sustainable food policies, healthy school food systems, youth engagement and community participation in green transition processes. Keynote speakers included Professor Michael Søgaard Jørgensen (Aalborg University), Professor Bent Mikkelsen (Lund University) and Assistant Professor Beatriz de Oliveira Teixeira (University of Porto). The meeting also focused on developing the Digital Guidebook on Sustainable Food Transition and planning future Nordic-Baltic cooperation initiatives.

One of the major final events of the programme was the Nordic-Baltic Sustainability Conference 2025 “Transforming Nordic Sustainable Food Systems through Policy Change and Cooperation”, held in Tallinn, Estonia, on 1–2 December 2025. The conference was organised jointly with the annual Estonian National Youth Forum, bringing together young people, experts, educators, civil society organisations and partner institutions from across the Nordic-Baltic region. The event gathered 143 participants, including international participants from Estonia 🇪🇪, Finland 🇫🇮, Sweden 🇸🇪, Denmark 🇩🇰, Norway 🇳🇴, Iceland 🇮🇸 and Latvia 🇱🇻. Participants discussed sustainable food systems, responsible consumption, climate adaptation, food waste reduction, environmental education and community engagement. The conference included keynote speeches, workshops, panel discussions and practical sessions focused on strengthening Nordic-Baltic cooperation and promoting sustainable development.

As an additional final activity, the Nordic-Baltic Young Chef Competition-Award took place in Narva, Estonia, on 3–4 December 2025. The competition promoted sustainable food culture, responsible consumption and the use of local and seasonal ingredients among young people. International teams from Estonia, Latvia and the Nordic countries prepared sustainable three-course menus while sharing experiences related to environmentally friendly cooking and food culture. The Estonian team won first place, followed by the Nordic joint team and the Latvian team.

The project had a strong social and community impact. It strengthened cooperation between Nordic-Baltic civil society organisations, increased awareness about sustainable lifestyles and environmental responsibility, and encouraged young people to become more active in sustainability and green transition initiatives. One of the key outcomes of the project was the reinformcent of the international cooperation network “European Network “Green Habito”, which will continue promoting sustainable development and community-based cooperation in the future.

Project has been run in frame of SSCW Programm: Sustainability as a lifestyle, with support of Nordic Council of Ministers’ Grant Program for Nordic-Baltic NGO Cooperation 2026
