INTRODUCTION
P.O.L.A.R (Polarized No More: Empowering Youth and Educators to Bridge Divides in European Communities) is an Erasmus+ project that addresses the growing issue of polarization among young people in Europe. The project aims to equip secondary school students and educators with critical thinking, media literacy, and dialogue skills through the development of innovative and interactive educational materials, including modules, a student workbook, and an educator guide. By promoting awareness, inclusion, and democratic values, the project seeks to foster more cohesive and tolerant school communities and provide long-term, reusable tools to prevent polarization and radicalization in education.
