More and more information is conveyed through the media and other information channels and it is therefore essential to know how to find, understand and critically evaluate such information.

Young people are the most exposed to new media but, at the same time, they do not always know how to independently and critically assess the flow of information and potential dangers to which they are exposed. Media and Information Literacy (MIL) education should therefore be included in school curricula to raise awareness among young people about the role and functions played by the media and various information services, enabling them to develop and evaluate information they receive.

To cope with the different levels of media literacy between the various countries, the coordinator (Poland) wants to carry out this project together with four other countries (Italy, Turkey, Latvia and Portugal). Among the fields of interest inherent to the project we find:

- Internet and social media addiction;
- Cyberbullying;
- Fake news;
- Emerging digital culture;
- Access to reliable information;
- Violation of data and online privacy;
- Data security and examples of digital fraud.

Target group: 50 teachers + 125 students (13-15 years old) will participate in the 5 planned mobilities that will allow the subjects involved to achieve the set objectives.

Before each mobility, each host partner country will prepare a program with information on transport, food and accommodation based on the preferences of the participants. The activities inside and outside the schools will be carried out under the supervision of the teachers. If students are not allowed to be hosted by families, they will stay overnight at the hotel with the teachers. Otherwise, the selection of families will be meticulous and careful. Each mobility will involve 5 students and 2 teachers.
