After thousands of kilometers traveled across Europe, countless workshops and engaging sessions, the 10th edition of Europe on Track has almost reached its final destination. This year, this amazing AEGEE-Europe project brought young Europeans together to discuss one of the current hot topics – AI. From combating fake news and online misinformation to exploring the societal impacts of artificial intelligence and empowering digital activism.
As this journey concludes, we’re proud to share also on our website the results and policy recommendations shaped by the voices of hundreds of young Europeans, all aimed at tackling the challenges of our digital era. These insights highlight the importance of education, awareness, and empowerment in navigating the complexities of artificial intelligence and media literacy.
Based on the contributions of participants and organisers, here we present the collected recommendations:
1. Bridging the Gap in AI Education
Participants consistently emphasized a lack of education on AI tools and AI-generated content, especially among high school and university students.
- Recommendation: Implement digital literacy programs in educational institutions, focusing on AI, misinformation and critical thinking skills.
2. Supporting Digital Activists
Young people face challenges in accessing resources for meaningful digital activism.
- Recommendation: Provide funding, training and accessible platforms for youth-led initiatives, enabling their voices to create tangible change.
For those eager to dive deeper into the outcomes and recommendations, the complete booklet is available online.
