Update: The „Fake kNOw More" project
The preparation of a new edition of the “Fake kNOw More” project is under discussion. Until we come back with new information about how it will unfold, we encourage you to continue to make use of the freely available educational materials. These resources are essential to help students develop critical thinking skills and recognize false information in an ever-changing digital world.
The materials can be easily integrated into teaching activities and are available on our website. Thank you for your involvement and efforts in educating the new generations!
ABOUT
The 'Fake kNOw More' program focuses on developing self-awareness among young people to build resilience against misinformation. It highlights the role of emotions, language limitations, and personal experiences in shaping biases and susceptibility to false information. The program includes materials and resources tested in the pilot phase, a manual on managing emotions and misinformation, an educational game, and video materials, with an international scope and an emphasis on critical thinking, media literacy, and understanding the impact of social media on well-being.
Who is it addressed to?
The FAKE KNOw MORE project targets young people from low social and cultural backgrounds, aiming to raise their awareness of how hidden factors, such as emotions, shape their vulnerability to misinformation. We will work directly with teachers and educators from therapeutic centers, community centers, informal educational environments, and schools, equipping them with training materials and tools to work with vulnerable groups.
