School POlicies To TacklE and Detect fake news – SPOTTED

On the 12th and 13th of December, the European Education and Learning Institute – EELI was honoured to attend the kick-off meeting of our brand-new Erasmus+ KA2 project, entitled “School POlicies To TacklE and Detect fake news – SPOTTED” that took place in Milan, Italy. The project will last 32 months (from 01-11-2019 to 30-06-2022) and aims to create a platform for young people, parents, and teacher alike, in order to contribute to the enrichment of the young generation’s media literacy and critical thinking, so they don’t fall victim to misleading info, bountiful in our media and technology-rich era. In order to achieve that, during our project, we will be releasing various tools (Intellectual Outputs), which will include: An “Online assessment tool for media literacy”, to test young people’s abilities to detect fake news, “Guidelines on Media & Information literacy for schools”, aimed at teachers, and last but not least, an “Online Disinformation e-Learning” to teach young people how to evaluate the info they are exposed to online.
