YouThink

The project focuses on developing media literacy, critical thinking and resilience to disinformation among young people, in order to foster active, responsible and empathetic citizenship.

“YouThink” is a media literacy project aimed at strengthening young people’s skills in critical thinking, a critical approach to information and recognising disinformation. The project helps young people better understand the media and digital environment and take a more active part in society.

Within the project, ICS is advancing cooperation with higher education institutions at home and abroad. Through grants to faculties, the project encourages the inclusion of media literacy in study programmes and the development of educational content that meets the needs of students and teaching staff.

The project also includes research, a scientific symposium and the publication of the academic journal of media and communications KAIROS, as a space for academic discussion, analysis and research in media, communications, journalism and the public interest.

In addition, ICS contributes to young people’s non-formal education through media literacy training, media internships and film literacy workshops in cooperation with the Giffoni youth film festival. Through these activities, young people gain practical knowledge and skills for the responsible use of media and information.
