Youth Exchange "Fake off"
Participants from Portugal, Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania, Spain
Fake news is a reality and Europe needs our help to stop it. Unfortunately, as fake news continues to grow at a furious rate, threatening the the democracy and credibility of the news and information we see or hear. Online platforms and the Internet in general have opened up new opportunities for communication, discussion and debate and given access to information. At the same time, unreliable or misleading news and information has emerged, distorting reality and reducing trust in the media.

Youth Exchange "Fighting Hate Speech"
Participants from Portugal, Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania, The Netherlands
Hate speech struggles are found in all societies, both online and in real life. It can sometimes be difficult to identify when a comment is hate speech –
especially when it is expressed in the virtual world. Trying to deal with overtly hateful content can also seem like an impossible task for young people.
But there are many ways to take a stand, even if you are not personally a victim of hate speech. And you can make a difference.
During the youth exchange, we discussed all aspects of hate speech and developed a mechanism for dealing with it.

Youth Exchange "Boost your financial literacy"
Participants from Portugal, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Spain
Financial literacy is a core life skill for participating in modern society. Children and youth are growing up in an increasingly complex world where they will eventually need to take charge of their own financial future. There are plenty of decisions involving a financial element throughout a person’s lifetime, be it financing university studies, using payment cards, buying a car in instalments, making investments, taking out a mortgage, taking out insurance or saving for retirement. The main aim of this Youth Exchange is to improve participants’ knowledge and skills of the youth of Europe in order to empower them to take the right decisions when managing their personal finances.
