A Step Forward Against Disinformation: CheckMate’s Best Practice Guide Published!

In a context where news is abundant and often misleading, the CheckMate project is committed to enhancing Media Literacy among adults. After months of fieldwork, we are excited to announce an important development: the Best Practice Guide is now available online and can be downloaded for free.

Media Literacy is a key skill in a digital age where information manipulation is commonplace. The Best Practice Guide is a valuable resource for teachers, trainers, and anyone interested in developing critical thinking about the information they receive. The guide collects examples of effective practices already implemented across Europe and the significant contributions of those working in information education, providing concrete tools to combat disinformation.

The CheckMate project aims to introduce innovative approaches to improve adults‘ critical capacity in evaluating news. Each partner, through their work in the six involved countries, has contributed their experience, enriching the guide with innovative methods and strategies. The Best Practice Guide is the result of an international collaboration involving experts in Media Literacy. This document provides an overview of the best educational practices, offering strategies and tools to enhance adults‘ media literacy. In addition to the guide, CheckMate also plans to launch a platform in the metaverse in the coming months. This platform will offer additional resources and interactive tools, facilitating access to educational materials and promoting immersive and engaging learning.

Stay updated on the next phases of the CheckMate project and discover all the new developments! The publication of the Best Practice Guide is just the beginning of a journey aimed at strengthening adults‘ media literacy skills and creating a more informed and critical society.
