ChangingTIDE’s Media Literacy Incubator “Disinformation, media literacy, and democracyË®, organised by IPRI-NOVA, took place on 23 June 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal. The event brought together young people aged 18 to 30 in a workshop aimed at providing them with the skills to recognise and combat fake news.
The Media Literacy Incubator aimed to improve the ability to spot misleading or manipulative content, learn practical tools for navigating online information, exchange ideas with other young people from across Europe, and explore the Portuguese context together with experts and civil society actors.
After the event, participants had a chance to enter the Changemakers Programme, a central innovation of the ChangingTIDE project. Changemakers, a cohort of 20 motivated young people, will undergo a structured mentorship programme resulting in the creation of awareness-raising campaigns to address disinformation.
