Description:
CheckMate addresses the critical problems of misinformation and disinformation that are widely spread today, offers solutions to reduce the impact on society and strengthens the process of media literacy. The project aims to combat misinformation in times of crisis, strengthening media competence, raising awareness and promoting dialog.
Furthermore, CheckMate shall train adults of any social, age, religious, economic and ethnic background, paying special attention to vulnerable and marginalised groups, to be able to critically filter, investigate sources, fact-check content, and categorise all information received, turning chaos into critical and analytical capacities. In that effort, CheckMate shall integrate and promote the use of innovative technological solutions.
