European Union recognized disinformation (2018) as one of main threats to democracy and citizen information. Education about disinformation narratives is becoming important part of media literacy education programs, materials and workshops. Teachers, educators, journalists and youth workers in the field of media literacy play a significant role in this process.

This brochure was created as a result of an Erasmus training course for youth workers held from October 27 to November 2, 2024, in Vrsar, Croatia.

Youth workers from eight countries discussed the consequences and problems of disinformation targeting minority groups in society. The project was led by CESI – Centre for Education, Counselling, and Research (Croatia), with partner organizations Building the Balkans (Kosovo), IKAR (Bulgaria), BeFem (Serbia), Chance (Germany), Mediterranean institute of gender studies (Cyprus), Youth Cultural Centre Juventas (Montenegro) and Centre for Bridging Communities (Albania).
