About Lie Detectors:
Our award-winning project aims to turn
schoolchildren in Europe aged 10-15 into powerful lie detectors and critical
thinkers in a world increasingly populated by propaganda and distorted facts
online, empowering them to understand news media, make informed choices and
resist peer pressure as they assemble their worldview.
- To turn working journalists and selected media experts into active participants in the drive for news literacy, creating positive contact between journalists and children
as well as their teachers.
- To attune teachers to digital media risks, to the tools available to counter it, and to the benefits and relevance of further classroom discussion of a topic often relegated to IT lessons and after-school clubs.
- To create memorable classroom experiences and lasting awareness of children's own participation in social networks; to propel pupils into an ongoing conversation of news consumption and verifying news.
- To provide a link between schools and the very best existing news-literacy and news-verification initiatives.
- To influence educational policy-making through continued public speaking in varied fora, advocating for the systematic uptake and inclusion of news literacy in the curricula of teacher-training colleges and classrooms across Europe, as urged by Unesco and OECD. As part of this remit, Lie Detectors is a member of the EU's new High Level Group on Fake News, advising the European Commission on how to tackle the spread and socio-economic impact of disinformation.
