Hands-on guidance for teachers and educators dealing with disinformation and digital literacy

These Guidelines on tackling disinformation and promoting digital literacy provide hands-on guidance for teachers and educators. They include practical tips, activity plans, insights on topics and cautionary notes based on what has proven to work in terms of digital literacy. They are a key initiative of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027) of the European Commission and were informed by a dedicated Commission Expert Group. The aim behind these Guidelines is to foster a broader understanding of digital, to promote responsible and safe use of digital technologies, and to promote better public awareness and knowledge regarding disinformation. 

Young people’s critical thinking skills will be fostered given the pedagogical expertise underpinning these guidelines. The Guidelines are intended for primary and school teachers/educators.
