How many times have you read a strange sentence and wondered: Is it a hoax? Or perhaps in the middle of a book you doubted the arguments presented that could be biased and confirm your beliefs or prejudices? Maybe the problem is learning how to dismantle some conspiracy theories that are successful among a group of students...
In the comic “Héctor Hecho no comparte bulos” you can learn in a fun way what to do when you receive a suspicious video or a screenshot with shady content. The comic includes 7 tips so that you are not fooled by any disinformation.
The comic is a perfect tool to learn in a fun way how to uncover lies and can be used as teaching material suitable for students from Secondary school onwards.
“Héctor Hecho no comparte bulos” was produced by the Brazilian fact-checking center Aos Fatos, in association with the International Fact-Checking Network, of the Poynter Institute. The Spanish edition is published by Maldita.es and you can download it for free!
We have also created a game to learn in a fun way how to debunk hoaxes: the Maldita.es chatterbox (print it, assemble it and play!).
We know that in the battle against lies, investing in education and fostering critical thinking are fundamental tasks. Lies and hoaxes grow every day and the battle against disinformation is today more important than ever. Without media literacy and digital education, in all areas of society, it will be impossible to combat present and future disinformation.
At MALDITA EDUCA we work so that you have the tools to defend yourself and do not make decisions based on dis. Education, technology, fact-checking and collaboration are the keys so that we can make decisions with all the information in hand.
