The project
DIGITELD

In 2024 we put our shoulders to the wheel for an important project funded by the European Union. The goal is to improve Media & Information Literacy (MIL) and Digital Literacy (DL) among older people, particularly those over 65 in Belgium and Italy, to combat digital misinformation through two specialized training programs.

A European-scale action

In collaboration with esteemed academics and journalists, we will develop a large-scale open online course (MOOC) that will serve as a central learning resource. The course will focus on identifying fake news, especially on critical topics such as health and political propaganda.
