Participants involved: 11 – Greece, 20/03/2024
Within WP2 of the WARRIOR project, focus groups with youth workers explored how fake news and online scams affect professional ethics and trust. Participants discussed misleading product advertising and false accusations spread online. Emotional reactions included anger, frustration, and growing distrust toward digital information. Training in disinformation techniques, source comparison, and fact-checking emerged as key tools. Youth workers reported increased vigilance and a stronger commitment to proactive verification to protect young people.
