Building the TRUTH4YOUTH framework in Florence

Partners turned the project’s ambition into a practical framework for media literacy, digital resilience and local youth activities.

The first international TRUTH4YOUTH working meeting took place in Florence from 27 to 31 March 2026. Experts from partner organisations came together to move from the project idea to a common educational approach.

The group co-developed the foundations of a Modular Empowerment Framework and a stakeholder map. These documents will guide international training, local workshops and participatory activities that help young people recognise disinformation, question manipulative content and participate more confidently in democratic life.

The Florence meeting also connected different areas of expertise—from youth work and non-formal education to climate communication, digital citizenship and fact-checking. This shared foundation will support the next stages of TRUTH4YOUTH, including training courses, youth Living Labs, myth-debunking challenges and follow-up activities in partner countries, including Slovenia.
