make it clear

The aim of the project 'Make it clear - educating young people against disinformation online' is to develop young people's information literacy, as well as an informed and critical approach to content shared in the media, particularly social media. It is aimed at teachers and people working with children, parents and young people aged 11-17.

On this page you will find a range of educational materials that will help you develop students' skills in verifying the veracity of information posted online, as well as recognizing and responding appropriately to disinformation on the Internet. These are ready-to-use lesson modules for different age groups, containing stories and tasks on such issues as disinformation, digital hygiene, civic participation or distinguishing fact from opinion. Our educational resources also include exercises for students of different levels, which are based on the MENU methodology, or the board game for young people, "Digital Brainiacs," which can be played at school or at home.

All the materials, along with a guide, are available under the Educational Materials tab.

The project “Make it clear - educating young people against disinformation online” is implemented by the consortium that consists of NASK – National Research Institute (Poland), Latvian Internet Association (Latvijas Interneta Asociacija) and Save the Children Romania (Organizatia Salvati Copiii). All partners have long term experience in the fields of media education and child online protection activities. For many years they have been cooperating in the frame of the other European co-financed programme, Safer Internet.

The project is addressed primarily to young people aged 11-17, but also to parents, teachers and specialists working with children. The aim of the project is to develop information competences in youth, a conscious and critical approach to the content available in the media, particularly in social media. As a result, youth will improve the skills to verify the truthfulness of online information, to recognize and adequately respond to disinformation. The project also aims to broaden the knowledge and raise awareness of teachers about such phenomena as fake news, manipulation techniques and propaganda, which in turn will allow them to develop information skills among their students and to raise the interest of parents in the problem.
