Citizens and Digital Technology

Young people are increasingly spending their lives online. The proliferation of digital misinformation, particularly in social media, poses a significant threat to informed democratic participation.

There is a need to strengthen teachers’ and other educators’ understanding of a democracy and human rights approach to evolving digital technologies, including AI and to foster critical thinking to secure democracy and human rights in the rapid development of new information technology, tackle disinformation, misinformation and fake news.

Our goal is to give teachers and other educators the necessary support and competences to empower children and young people to navigate in the rapidly changing digital reality.
