STAGE III – FOLLOW-UP FROM EVENT -11

The EAF Guidebook helps youth workers boost digital literacy and counter disinformation on Climate Change, Migrations, Covid-19, and Euroscepticism. It provides tools to recognize and deconstruct fake news, and empowers young people’s critical thinking with examples of common fake news.

2. Digital Campaigns:

Aiming to amplify the impact of our messages, we should exploit opportunities of the social media.

  • Launch a digital campaign: Use the creative outputs to launch a digital campaign designed to engage a broad audience and further promote media literacy. In case of digital outputs like virtual exhibitions, they can play a big part of the digital campaign. From the other side, in-person public events could provide you with the bunch of video and photo material, experience and testimonials of participants, etc.
  • Monitoring and evaluation: Track the reach and impact of the campaign, using analytics to gauge engagement levels and participant feedback to assess the effectiveness of the campaign.

3. Reporting and Documentation:

  • Feedback: Implement mechanisms to collect participant feedback throughout the event to make real-time adjustments and improve future hackathons and activities you are doing through this methodology.
  • Document the process: Keep detailed records of the event proceedings, participant engagement, and project outcomes to inform stakeholders and guide future events.
  • Evaluation reports: Prepare comprehensive reports that assess the effectiveness of the hackathon in achieving its objectives, providing insights for future improvements.

Idea for follow up: Establish an alumni network to maintain engagement with participants, offering them further opportunities for development and participation in future events, or even for maintaining their social activism in the community.
