Youths nowadays are exposed to a wide range of media and sources, some of them reliable, some not. Unfortunately, the majority tend not to trust the media anymore, maybe because they lack analysis skills. Fake news is everywhere, and students struggle to identify them. Surveys among partner countries indicate that youths are less and less interested in taking part of public debate. This may lead to a democratically challenge. The partnership in this project intent to develop innovative ways of dealing with these challenges. We will use journalism as tool for learning. The main objective of this partnership is to create innovative ways for teachers and schools to use journalism as tool and methodology to train student’s on media literacy, critical thinking, cultural learning and raise awareness among youth to take more part in public debate. As a result, the project will improve our students’ ICT skills and media skills as a means of communication, to publish results of our activities, compare with our partners’ results and to gain public attention for our project. Project will develop critical thinking skills among students, to enable them to better assess the ever-increasing flow of information they are exposed to. Since the project is transnational, the ability to understand cultural contexts will also be an important result of the project.A hybrid digital news publishing platform, a mix between social media and newspaper, will let students focus on skills required for journalists, motivate for learning and give impact to schools, institutions and decisionmakers outside partnership. The project will develop a publishing platform tailored for this kind of learning activities, furthermore improved best practise from three LTT, followed by 3 pilots at schools will be collected and described in best practise handbook. Each partner will also describe an innovative project for how to work with project topic. The result will not only be found in handbook, but also in digital version on project website. All together the publishing platform and develop learning materiel will equip schools and learning institutions, regardless of age, with a powerful and tested learning tool, ready to use. In order to achieve longer term benefits, the project’s methodology is centered around a close cooperation with all stakeholders, such as governmental education institutions and media businesses. The professional network of the project partners aims to create a network where one reaches as many potential participants as possible in a given region, and show how it is possible to work and learn smart within project topics.
