In mid-February, ACTIon project partner HESED started a new group for young opinion leaders in Kyustendil to encourage young mothers to become opinion leaders in their community. We invited young mothers who are willing to improve their digital skills and help other young people improve the care for their children.

Why did we choose these young people?

  • They are young and engaged neither in education nor in employment
  • They take care of their children at home and have limited contacts outside the family
  • They spend a lot of time online and communicate with their peers mainly through social networks.

What kind of benefits do we offer them?

  • Opportunity to see what their online image is and how others perceive them.
  • Easy algorithms to search for information that is useful to them and to their children.
  • Accessible means to detect fake news and disinformation.
  • A database of verified online sources and materials related to raising children to help them extract the most important messages and how to apply them in their daily lives.
  • Opportunity to improve their skills for digital storytelling in order to be useful to other young people who have similar interests and searches.
  • Support for using popular online health platforms to facilitate their access to leading healthcare professionals and quality medical care.

Young people can combine having a good time with peers with learning useful skills, while their children are with them and participate in learning situations.
