Summary

Objectives
The project strengthened media literacy and critical thinking among secondary-school students across nine European countries. It equipped young people to analyse information, recognise manipulation, evaluate credibility, and view issues from multiple perspectives. It also provided teachers with structured tools, ready-made lesson plans, and practical materials to integrate media education into classrooms.

Implementation
The partnership included seven secondary schools and two associations. Activities covered three transnational meetings, three staff-training events, and three pupil exchanges. Each partner created a project team, designed a logo, contributed to the website, developed five lesson plans, organised opinion polls, and shared materials for publication. Workshops, studies, and a final multiplier event supported further exchange and dissemination.

Results
The project produced 45 lesson plans with worksheets and guides, a publication of best practices, classroom-tested materials, and a shared online platform. Students improved critical-thinking, communication, and information-management skills. Teachers gained practical tools for teaching media literacy. The partnership strengthened cooperation between schools and organisations across Europe and expanded informal media education for young people.
