The project “Health Literacy Education for Youth to Tackle Disinformation and Improve Well-being (Health-Lit)” aims to enhance the health literacy (HL) of young people (between 14-29 years old), equipping them with skills to address disinformation about health issues and to promote digital readiness and resilience. The project seeks a systemic impact on youth engagement in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Italy and Lithuania, by improving the skills and competences of youth workers and educators to apply innovative methodologies for HL and tackling disinformation, reinforcing the links practice and youth policy.
Activities encompass online survey of young people in 5 countries; designing an inclusive multi-lingual health literacy and disinformation program through innovative local and international youth sandbox (VOYS); peer learning and training of trainers; developing and disseminating e-learning HL resources; engaging youth, youth workers, local stakeholders and the wider public in mutual learning and awareness-raising through multiplier events and webinars; project evaluation activities.
Project budget: 250 000 EUR
Timeline: 01/03/2025 – 28/02/2027
The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
