The Fundación Maldita.es launches the free course “All Together Against Hoaxes!” to prevent disinformation about the European elections

The European Parliament elections will take place on June 9. Alongside campaign information, disinformation that harms democratic processes will also circulate. At the Maldita.es Foundation, we know that the most effective way to prevent it is through tools and education.

The Fundación Maldita.es launches the free course “All Together Against Hoaxes!” to prevent disinformation about the European elections

That’s why we are launching All Together Against Hoaxes!, an online course on countering disinformation available through todosjuntos.eu — the European Parliament’s community platform aimed at encouraging voter participation — with the goal of helping more citizens become ambassadors of responsible information.

What is the “All Together Against Hoaxes!” course?

The program consists of five 50-minute online sessions, which will be repeated once a month between February and April. The sessions will cover the following topics:

  1. How to detect disinformation

  2. How disinformation narratives affect democracy

  3. How to verify content like a journalist

  4. How to engage in public advocacy to combat disinformation

  5. How to create evidence-based content for your social media

To register, users must create an account on todosjuntos.eu and follow the instructions provided at this link.

This training is co-funded by the European Parliament through the call for proposals “Citizen engagement actions in the field of communication in view of the 2024 European elections.”
