On this International Day of Education, we take great pleasure in acknowledging the commitment and dedication of the schools that have actively participated in the DisinformACTION! and The Rights Hero projects. These initiatives, funded by the European Commission, exemplify our collective efforts to enhance the educational experience and empower both students and educators.
DisinformACTION! - Countering climate change disinformation through youth e-participation
DisinformACTION! is a 24-month project implemented by a consortium of four organizations, aiming to boost young people's ability to identify and counter online misinformation related to climate change. The program encourages them to become active citizens in their local communities, particularly concerning climate and environmental issues.
Educational Impact:
The teachers have been trained to deliver four one-hour sessions forming the Climate Change Ambassadors Methodology:
Chapter 1: Critical Online Citizens
Chapter 2: Effective Online Communication
Chapter 3: Digital Tools for Online Engagement
Chapter 4: Climate Change Ambassadors
During these sessions, students acquired knowledge on identifying online misinformation, especially regarding climate change issues, and learned about useful digital tools for online activism, all through non-formal education methods. By implementing these sessions in the classroom, teachers contributed to educating students in these crucial areas.
Recognition:
The title of "Centru European DisinformACTION" has been awarded to the top 3 schools that have sent the highest number of teachers for training:
