YouNDigital Makes Headlines: Project Results Featured in National Media

The final conference of the YouNDigital project—Youth, News and Digital Citizenship—took place at Universidade Lusófona —Centro Universitário do Porto on March 26 and 27. Funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) under the reference PTDC/COM-OUT/0243/2021 (DOI 10.54499/PTDC/COM-OUT/0243/2021), the project brought together national and international experts to present its key findings to an engaged audience.

The two-day event was streamed online and attracted significant national and regional media attention. Reports by Agência LUSA, Antena 1, CNN Portugal, Público, RTP, TSF, and several other prominent outlets across print, radio, television, and social media platforms were included.
