ChangingTIDE Campaign Lab | Brussels, 16 October 2026

On 16 October 2026, the Changemakers selected from Media Literacy Incubators all across Europe gathered in Brussels for a one day Campaign Lab, as part of the ChangingTIDE project. There, with trainer Sebastián Rodríguez, they practised how to build a campaign, learnt persuasion techniques and how to engage an audience.

In particular, they produced blueprints for awareness-raising campaigns, rooted in their own national disinformation contexts.

This day of training will enable them to become change multipliers in their communities, and achieve real impact.

About the Changemakers

The Changemakers are a cohort of 20 young people from around Europe who will get the chance to deepen their understanding of disinformation challenges through mentorship, skills-building, and dialogue with policy-makers.

Throughout the programme, they participate in several national events organised by consortium partners and transnational events in Brussels, where they are guided by a civil society network in the conceptualisation of innovative public awareness campaigns focused on disinformation challenges relevant to their respective national contexts. At the end of the project, Changemakers will present their campaigns to EU interlocutors and receive actionable feedback for future implementation.
