Maldita.es participates in the project QYourself to promote media literacy education in schools across Europe

The project will adapt educational content and approaches provided in journalism faculties to other teaching contexts so that a broader diversity of educators are better prepared to promote the capacities of their learners to verify messages, check sources and prevent the spread of disinformation. 

QYourself will elaborate and pilot open digital educational resources—the QYourself Toolkit—tailored to the needs of educators across Europe so that they can address the phenomenon of disinformation in their diverse teaching contexts, awakening critical thinking among their students.  

What will Maldita.es do? 

Maldita.es will bring its expertise in media literacy education to provide insights that will contribute to the development of the QYourself toolkits, including the delivery of a training session for the consortium members. Maldita.es will also support the design and coordination of the communications and dissemination activities to engage a large audience in the project results. 

How much will Maldita receive to realize the project? 

Maldita.es will receive 24.354,00 € to implement the project. The total project budget is 250,000€. QYourself is a two-year project running from November 2023 to October 2025.
