InfoFacto

forthcoming

InfoFacto, a youth-centered media literacy platform helping adolescents assess digital content, engage with diverse perspectives, and navigate AI-driven misinformation. Through interactive pedagogical pathways, the project deepens critical inquiry skills and digital resilience, helping young people navigate rapidly evolving media environments—particularly social media, where misinformation spreads quickly. While young people are at the core of InfoFacto, educators, parents, journalists, and researchers play a key role in fostering media literacy. The project gives targeted training for adults, equipping them with tools to support youth in critically engaging with digital content. Led by a pan-European consortium (France, Spain, Serbia, North Macedonia, Germany, and Ireland), it delivers: Interactive digital pathways, co-created with young people to promote best practices in media literacy. Training modules for educators and parents, equipping them with strategies to help adolescents develop critical thinking and responsible media habits. Training modules for journalists and researchers, focusing on their role in supporting young people. Journalists will explore ethical reporting and AI’s impact, while researchers will integrate youth engagement into media literacy best practices. Youth-led video capsules, promoting peer-to-peer learning and reinforcing responsible media engagement. Scalability and cross-border adaptation, ensuring best practices remain accessible across linguistic, cultural, and national contexts. The project prioritizes vulnerable and marginalized communities, including disadvantaged youth, rural populations, and minorities at risk of information manipulation. Building on EDMO best practices, InfoFacto promotes broad dissemination through a digital platform, awareness campaigns, and co-creation events, ensuring long-term sustainability. InfoFacto aims to engage 25 000 young people, 3000 trained adults educators, parents, journalists & researchers.
