Maldita.es Foundation launches the free course 'All Together Against Hoaxes!' to prevent disinformation about the European elections

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

Therefore, «All Together Against Hoaxes!» is starting, an online course against disinformation available through todosjuntos.eu – the European Parliament’s community to encourage electoral participation – with the aim of more citizens becoming ambassadors of responsible information.

What is the All Together Against Hoaxes! course?

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

  • How to detect disinformation
  • How disinformation narratives affect democracy
  • How to fact-check content like a journalist
  • How to engage publicly to fight disinformation
  • How to create evidence-based content for your social networks

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

This training is co-financed by the European Parliament through the call for «Actions of citizen engagement in the field of communication in view of the 2024 European elections».
