Resumo: In today’s hyperconnected world, young people face unique challenges, from the overwhelming flow of online information to the risks of fake news, social media addiction, and digital inequality. This project aims to:
• Combat fake news through critical thinking and media literacy.
• Address the overload of information in the digital age.
• Bridge the digital divide, ensuring inclusive access to technology.
• Promote mental well-being and healthy online habits.
• Raise awareness of social media addiction and its impact on daily life.
Objectivos: For three days, you will step away from digital devices and immerse yourself in a journey of self-discovery and meaningful human connections.
Guided by experienced supervisors, this immersive experience encourages participants to engage fully with their surroundings, fostering creativity, empathy, and teamwork through real, face-to-face interactions.
Instead of being online, we will focus on dynamic activities designed to inspire new ideas and strengthen personal and collective creativity. This practice is a core part of our projects, and we ensure a supportive environment where participants feel confident with the idea that disconnecting from technology will lead to positive and enriching experiences.
As part of the experience, there will be a 3-day digital disconnection in which we will ask participants to get rid of their phones and any other digital device they would like to. We will keep the devices safe until the end of the disconnection.
For safety, we provide a complete support system: Each participant provides an emergency contact to whom a daily update email will be sent. Participants will share the project coordinator’s number with their families and, in case of any urgent need, participants will be granted access to their phones.
All participants and group leaders must agree to participate in this 3-day digital disconnection process as part of the program.

Accomodation
The project will take place at Cortijo La Cañada, an isolated nearly 200-year-old estate steeped in history. Since the 19th century, it has been surrounded by the legendary tales of bandits who once sought refuge in the Sierra Sur, a crossroads between the provinces of Seville, Málaga, Córdoba, and Granada.

We will be living in a remote countryside area, surrounded by the endless sea of olive trees of Andalusia. Life here follows a slower rhythm, close to nature, quiet, and far from the rush of the city. It’s a place to reconnect with simplicity, share moments outdoors, and appreciate the beauty of rural life.

Descrição: Infoxication was born from a need to pause and to see clearly. A space to slow down, question, and rediscover how information can be produced and shared in an authentic way.
The project explores how digital media influences our beliefs, while promoting awareness of the mechanisms behind propaganda, fake news, and communication in mass media.
It encourages critical thinking and digital literacy on how information is manipulated, consumed and shared by investigating sources, verifying facts, and creating and crafting responsible online content through creative workshops, role-playing, intercultural exchange and hands-on challenges.
