Disinformation is an important topic in today’s world affecting not only adults, but also children and young people. In the FAKE kNOw MORE project, we focus on developing young people’s self-awareness as a basis for building resilience to disinformation. We show how emotions and personal experiences affect the reception of information reaching us. We run the project internationally, and our materials are also available in partner countries: Spain, Romania and the Czech Republic.
The teaching bases of our project are:
The materials are created for children and youth aged 10-15 attending day-support centers, community centers, youth sociotherapy centers, as well as schools and other educational institutions.
’Understand Emotions. Become Resilient to Disinformation’ is a publication focusing on developing young people’s self-awareness as a basis for building resilience to disinformation. In it, we show how emotions and personal experiences affect the reception of information reaching us, and thus our susceptibility to false information.
In the publication, you will find activity scenarios for young people aged 10-12 and 13-15 participating in activities in smaller or larger groups, and sometimes individually. Each of them contains presentations and worksheets that help conduct activities. In addition, each section begins with a theoretical introduction, providing the educator with basic information on the area covered.
You can download the publication in English, Polish, Czech, Spanish and Romanian below.
The educational game ‘Octogram’ is a card game (that you can print yourself) with a fictional storyline, in which a large part of the situations presented can be applied to everyday life. It simulates social media and its algorithms, as well as filter and information bubbles. The goal, in addition to having fun playing the game, is to provide an introduction to the discussion about how social media works and how to navigate it.
You can download the game in English, Polish, Czech, Spanish and Romanian below.
