The aim of the youth exchange “Cyber Shadows” was to to inspire and empower young people to learn about media literacy and fight cyberbullying, in their communities and make their voices heard, bringing to light the issues that most closely affect them and bringing them closer to those in which they feel less involved.

• Exploring the power of digital tools; 

• Learning how to use the digital tools to improve the community and address social issues;
• Acquiring key skills in critical thinking, digital knowledge and collaboration.

The exchange included workshops and non-formal educational activities such as peer to peer education brainstorming, group work, simulations, mixed of course with the use of digital platforms and tools. every country had the chance of facilitating one or more activities during the week.
