Monaco and Council of Europe Launch Youth Disinformation Programme
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Princely Government is launching a new media literacy initiative with the Council of Europe, targeting young Europeans on disinformation and AI-generated content.
The Princely Government has announced a joint programme with the Council of Europe aimed at equipping young Europeans with the critical skills needed to identify disinformation and navigate an increasingly complex information landscape. The initiative, launched on 24 June 2026, responds directly to the spread of misleading content across digital platforms, social networks and AI-generated media.
The programme includes a call for applications, inviting young participants to engage with structured tools and frameworks designed to help them distinguish verified information from manipulated or false content. At a time when the line between credible journalism and fabricated material is harder to locate than at any point in recent memory, the initiative places Monaco at the centre of a broader European effort on digital literacy.
For Monaco residents with children in secondary or higher education, the call for applications is worth monitoring closely. The Princely Government's coordination with the Council of Europe signals that this is not a one-off awareness campaign but a structured programme with tangible outcomes for participants. Further details on eligibility and how to apply are expected through official government channels.
