Across several German Länder, young people, youth organisations and students participated in media literacy, violence-prevention and anti-extremism initiatives throughout 2025. Many of these programmes were organised in cooperation with schools, universities and civil society organisations and focused on raising awareness of hate crime, disinformation and online threats.

In Bavaria, police students participated directly in training activities and exchanges with journalists, while other Länder organised workshops and awareness-raising programmes aimed at strengthening responsible media use and democratic participation among young people.
