The #media10tion network: young people promote critical thinking and fight misinformation

The #media10tion network of media literacy promoters was strengthened through a follow-up session organized by the Media Centre for Youth. The event brought the network promoters together, giving them the opportunity to share experiences, stories from the field and ideas for future projects.

During the session, participants reflected on the importance of media literacy and discussed solutions to combat misinformation and develop critical thinking among young people. The conclusion of the event was clear: young people, when equipped with knowledge and courage, can positively influence their communities.

The #media10tion network is a program developed by the Media Center for Youth as part of the project “Enhancing Information Resilience and Promoting Pro-active Engagement among Young People in the Republic of Moldova.” The project is supported by the National Agency for Youth through the annual Grant Program for Youth Organizations 2024.

Project objectives include:

• Increasing young people’s resilience against misinformation;
• Promoting media literacy and critical thinking;
• Encouraging civic engagement in communities.

The Media Center for Youth continues to support young people in their efforts to build an informed generation able to think freely and contribute to a society based on accurate and transparent information.
