Fact or Fiction? Critical thinking and digital resilience among young people, parents and teachers in Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The report Fact or Fiction? presents findings from consultations with young people, parents, and teachers in Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania. It looks at how young people use the internet, how they deal with online risks, and how they check information. The study shows that many young people already use critical thinking and digital resilience skills, even if adults often overlook them. At the same time, young people feel that parents and teachers cannot always support them because they lack time, tools, or confidence. The report highlights gaps between generations, describes where support breaks down, and offers practical steps for families, schools, platforms, and policymakers to improve digital safety and strengthen cooperation.
