A majority of the youths use the Internet more than four hours per day, and three hours of these they use the social medias. In those channels there is also politicians and authorities. We know that the use of Social media will, and already has changed the political landscape and the possibility to be an active citizen. We have seen both positive and negative examples of that.As the youths spend a lot of their time on social medias there is a need to both make them aware how to use it wisely and to be critical to the sources, but also how to use it to be active citizens. To foster the future generations to be active and democratic citizens is one of the main goals in our school systems. The goal in this project is to make the students aware of how social media affect democracy, its possibilities and limits and how to use it as an active citizen. This includes the importance of critical thinking and how democracy is produced and reproduced by action and how the active citizenship is essential for its enforcement. The priorities chosen is “Common values, civic engagement and participation” which aim to support for example active citizenship, intercultural competence and critical thinking, which really pinpoints the central idea of out project.During the project we will have four meetings with students and teachers. So at every opportunity, 20 students from four different countries, plus a number of teachers will be directly involved in the work on the project. In total around 112 will be directly involved. The students are in the age between 16-19 years old.The LTT activities, both before, during and in between, is centred around a specific topic. The topics are:-What is Social media, and how can it affect democracy-Source criticism-Examples of how Social media is being used-The school as a micrography of societyEach activity is aimed to result in a guidebook on how to use social media to be an active citizen and educational material. The guidebook will be published online and can be used for educational purposes for schools or organizations, or as a guide in their work on how to connect with the citizens and engage participation. The educational material will as well be public through different channels.By this we hope that the exchange of experiences between teachers and students around Europe will contribute to a solid material that can be used in the future by schools and organizations and that it can strengthen the democracy by foster the new generation to be active citizens, and also help for example political organizations to make the most of this engagement.
