The Yo-media – Youngsters’ Media Literacy in Times of Crisis project participated in “Cientificamente Provável” (Scientifically Probable) program, and hosted 20 students from a secondary school in the Aveiro region, on 25th October.

The DigiMedia team of the Yo-media project organized activities, that promote critical thinking skills and media literacy among young people during health, political, or military crises. Students participated as evaluators of “Data Defenders,” a digital game developed within this project. During their visit, the students provided valuable feedback on the “Data Defenders” game, evaluating its effectiveness in teaching media literacy skills. This hands-on experience contributed to the Yo-media project’s development and gave students practical exposure to digital education tools and research processes.

The Program Cientificamente Provável aims to create partnerships between primary and secondary schools, research units, and higher education libraries. Through direct contact with researchers and higher education facilities, the Program enriches young people’s educational experience.
