The BECID youth training\u00a0at Delfi LT\u2019s office\u00a0was\u00a0also a success, with participants giving\u00a09\u201310\/10 ratings\u00a0for relevance and quality. They valued\u00a0fact-checking, media literacy, and social media insights, but requested\u00a0more hands-on exercises and shorter, more interactive sessions. A key takeaway was the\u00a0need for guidance on talking to those who believe misinformation, suggesting future collaboration with psychologists. Trainers praised the group\u2019s enthusiasm and recommended\u00a0covering journalism basics before diving into specialized topics. For the future, participants want\u00a0more on AI in journalism, ethics, and advanced fact-checking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
