Anti-Rumour: Identifying and Diagnosing Fake News and Conspiracy Theories

Anti-Rumour raises awareness regarding fake news and conspiracy theories with a focus on disinformation surrounding environmental awareness and social inclusion. The project addresses young people in particular, who are more familiar and present in social media and can quickly transform into active media producers rather than passive media consumers.

Main Objectives:

Give young people practical tools to identify and overcome disinformation as well as tackle fake news.
Enhance the participation of young people in democratic and civic life in partner countries.
Grow scientific trust and support as well as environmental crisis awareness to fight against climate change.
Strengthen active citizenship by enabling young people to connect with civil society organisations and NGOs working on media literacy using the results of this project.
Increase social inclusion and build on European values.

Project Results:

Project result 1: Anti-rumour Guidebook “How to diagnose conspiracy theories and how to deal with fake news”
