Welcome to the Cities of Learning Network’s Virtual Exchanges, an opportunity for young people from all Cities, Regions and Islands of Learning to connect, exchange, have fun and learn together!
﻿
﻿
﻿
This exchange, called The Fake News Game, will be focused on the topic of fake news, and has the goal of developing critical thinking skills and media literacy: can you tell fact from fiction, in a world full of misinformation?
Join us and we’ll play together and learn how to check our facts and verify our sources, and how to spot those not-so-true news that appear almost daily in our social media feed.
Together, we will:
learn how to spot and debunk fake news
discover how to properly check our facts and verify our sources
develop our skills of critical thinking and media literacy
share good examples and experiences of fighting misinformation
explore digital Open Badges for learning recognition
have fun and meet people coming from different European countries
﻿
The Virtual Exchange will start at 17:00 CET on Zoom and it will last approximately 1h30.
This activity is aimed at young people aged 16-30 coming from any of the Cities, Regions and Islands of Learning.
