The YouNDigital project has been awarded an “Excellent” classification in its final evaluation, recognizing the impact, scientific quality, and social relevance of the work carried out throughout its implementation.

Focused on understanding young people’s digital practices and strengthening their media literacy, YouNDigital stood out for producing innovative knowledge and generating valuable recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and professionals in the fields of communication and education.
