The follow-up project continues our efforts to counter disinformation by empowering individuals with critical media literacy skills in an increasingly digital world. Through a series of trainings, the project promotes informed engagement and societal resilience against false narratives, as well as creates a pool of skilled facilitators who are equipped to conduct media literacy workshops effectively.
Throughout the project, an educational card game will be developed as a gamified methodology that will cater to different competence levels, ranging from beginner to intermediate. The game will focus on key skills such as fact-checking, identifying biases, and analyzing media discourses. By targeting marginalized communities, including refugees and rural populations, the project addresses the digital divide and strengthens democratic resilience in Armenia.
Additionally, the project fosters collaboration between Armenian and German civil society actors, promoting knowledge exchange and building long-term cooperation.
