I løbet af de næste måneder vil elever fra gymnasiale uddannelser i hele Europa forberede sig på en fælles brainstorming om, hvordan man kan bekæmpe desinformation i Europa. I marts vil de vælge de mest populære idéer, som skal fremlægges for EU's ledere.
"Sandheden om løgne. Unge til kamp mod desinformation" er titlen på EØSU's 13. flagskibsarrangement for unge "Dit Europa, din mening!".
561 gymnasieskoler fra de 27 EU-medlemsstater og de 5 kandidatlande (Albanien, Montenegro, Nordmakedonien, Serbien og Tyrkiet) har ansøgt om at deltage i arrangementet i 2022. Fristen for tilmelding var den 2. december 2021. De deltagende skoler, en pr. land, blev udvalgt ved lodtrækning den 9. december 2021. Listen over de deltagende skoler kan findes online.
Debatmøderne afholdes online den 31. marts og 1. april 2022. EØSU er i fuld gang med at forberede sig på at byde alle 99 elever og deres undervisere velkommen.
Fra midten af januar 2022 vil de EØSU-medlemmer, som skal fungere som mentorer, begynde at besøge skolerne for at hjælpe eleverne med at forberede sig på debatmøderne.
Formålet med arrangementet er at øge bevidstheden om farerne ved desinformation og tilskynde de unge til at blive mere aktive i kampen mod falske nyheder.
Dit Europa, din mening! 2022 er blevet markeret som et af de vigtigste arrangementer i det europæiske ungdomsår 2022. (ck)
