Media studies through the eyes of young people.

Gohar, one of the participants of our regional seminar held in Arevshat, shares her impressions, emphasizing the importance of the skills of verifying information found on the Internet and distinguishing between fake and authentic.

During the seminar, we discussed with young people how to recognize misinformation, pay attention to the source of information, and not rush to spread suspicious publications. Through everyday examples, we also addressed the question of how photos, headlines, and emotional formulations can mislead us.

The feedback from participants is especially valuable to us: it shows what young people value and how they plan to apply the knowledge they have gained. Their questions, observations, and active participation turn our meetings into a lively dialogue.

It is heartening to hear young people’s willingness to be more careful and responsible when disseminating information. Media literacy begins with a simple step: stop, ask questions, and check. This small step from each of us can contribute to the formation of a more trustworthy information environment.
