Are you curious about how artificial intelligence algorithms are shaping what we see, hear and believe online?
Are you interested in connecting with peers and generate solutions to increase digital agency and address disinformation?
Join us on 7–8 February 2026 for a two-day training programme exploring media literacy in the age of AI.
The British Council and the Centre régional d'information jeunesse PACA are pleased to invite you to participate in a two-day training programme to explore media literacy and generate solutions to address misinformation and disinformation.
We are inviting young people aged between 18 and 35 who are passionate about leading change to work together in interdisciplinary teams and create solutions on how disinformation can be addressed. We are aiming to bring together emerging changemakers to critically engage with the challenges and opportunities AI presents in media, public discourse, and civic life.
The winning team will have the opportunity to go to Belfast for a three-day study visit in March 2026 and meet with other teams from similar ideathons in Europe.
This ideathon will take place at CRIJ PACA in Marseille. It will be held in English, but the group discussions can take place in French.
People living outside of the Marseille region will be entitled to ask for a contribution to their travel costs based on social criteria (étudiant boursier, people registered at France Travail and people with RSA). However, we will not be able to cover the costs of your stay. Please contact us at education@britishcouncil.fr for more information.
This event is part of British Council’s Youth Connect programme, delivered in partnership with the CRIJ PACA and Think Young.
