Media Literacy Incubator: Countering the Impact of Disinformation in Croatia | 15 May 2026

ChangingTIDE’s Media Literacy Incubator “Countering the Impact of Disinformation in CroatiaË® took place on Friday, 15 May 2026, in Zagreb, Croatia, and brought together young people interested in media literacy, democracy, and critical thinking.

The Media Literacy Incubator aimed to strengthen participants’ ability to recognise and counter disinformation, while encouraging active democratic engagement. Through a combination of expert-led panel discussion and interactive workshop, participants explored the impact of disinformation on society and develop practical skills for analysing media content. See the full programme here.

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.
