Literacy for discerning fake and real digital citizenship: effectice digital media
„Literacy for discerning fake and real digital citizenship: effectice digital media“ is the Erasmus+ strategic partnership project (2022-2-PL01-KA210-ADU-000093364) for 3 partners from Poland, Estonia and Turkey.
DIGISHIP project is a response to the need to integrate critical thinking, information evaluation and media literacy as some of the top skills for the 21st century into adult educational systems. It is addressed to learners and educators.
Adult workers today are working in an area where digital media competences have become a prerequisite to ensure high quality adult work. These competences are, for most of the adult workers, not acquired during their education. There is a need for programs that support them to become more media-literate. The project will create a flexible learning offer for adult educators - the gatekeepers of adult education - to improve their media literacy competences , and to transmit these skills to adults they work for / with.
Through the DIGISHIP Erasmus+ project adult educators will be able to build their awareness of the challenges and opportunities that seniors face online, to explore strategies for engaging in their digital lives and empowering them to use technology in a stronger, smarter, and safer way.
DIGISHIP project is complementary to the declaration of European Commission. The exposure of citizens to large scale disinformation, including misleading or outright false information, is a challenge for Europe.
