about the project

#FakeHunter - Edu is an educational project for high school students, the aim of which is to raise awareness of the dangers of disinformation, to fight against fake news, to teach young people to verify content published on the Internet and to establish safe behaviour.

As part of the project, #FakeHunter prepared video trainings on counteracting disinformation, which teachers used during school activities with students. In the recordings, we explain how to recognize fake news, what is the phenomenon of disinformation, what is the role of social media in spreading false content and we give tips on how to wisely and consciously navigate in virtual reality. In addition to video training, all secondary schools also received a set of exercises and a lesson plan.

The project is implemented by: the Polish Press Agency, the Ministry of Education and Science, The GovTech Polska Center and the Educational Research Institute.
