Through a series of interactive workshops and living libraries, they also worked on media literacy and inspiring critical thinking of young people in order to enable them to recognise, debunk and deconstruct fake news. During the EAF event fake news within 4 thematic units were adressed:
- Climate Cha(lle)nge
- Fundamental rights in the time of COVID-19 - Right to be (dis)informed
- Migration - the hometown of disinformation and populist campaign
- Euro scepticism ad a democratic barrier
By exchanging knowledge and insights with experts and educators the participants developed a set of socially engaging awareness-raising graffiti that are addressing fake news and the importance of being socially active citizens. These graffiti represent the main product of the event and they were digitally prpjected in the city of Varaždin during June 2023. They served as a meeting point for numerous citizens to engage in a discussion about the impact of fake news, allowing us to reach hundreds of people with a message to engage in countering disinformation.
