Overview
The project ChangingTIDE (Together to Inform, Debunk, and Empower) is funded under the EU Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme from February 2026. It is coordinated by the Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) with a consortium comprising the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGFE), the Austrian Institute for International Affairs (OIIP), the Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO), the Portuguese Institute of International Relations (IPRI-NOVA), the International Centre for Defence and Security (ICDS), and Dublin City University (DCU).
ChangingTIDE aims to strengthen citizens’ resilience in the face of disinformation, information manipulation, and foreign interference by promoting media literacy and empowering young people to engage in democratic processes. Placing youth at the centre of its approach, the project combines participatory learning, peer exchange and the co-creation awareness-raising campaigns with expert-driven capacity building, and structured dialogue with policy-makers at the local, national and EU levels.
Implemented across 6 EU Member States, ChangingTIDE will bring together diverse stakeholders through a series of national and transnational activities, such as workshops, trainings, Town Halls, and a Changemakers programme, designed to give young citizens a platform to express their opinions and raise awareness about disinformation. These activities will foster cross-border exchange and support the development of a Media Literacy Toolkit addressing contemporary disinformation challenges.
