Competence-Based Youth Work Practitioner’s Guide

What it is

The Youth Work Practitioner’s Guide is the main educational resource of the project. It provides youth workers with practical tools and methods to address identity-based disinformation in youth work settings.

The Guide explains how online manipulation can target emotions, identity, belonging, and group loyalty. It also gives youth workers concrete activities, facilitation tips, and workshop structures that can be adapted to different local contexts.
