Topic of this project is “Fake News in the Age of Democracy”. In the current atmosphere in the EU, where populist movements are on the rise and fake news often influence the democratic decisions in many countries, we need to speak more about what democracy means and what the real democratic dialogue looks like. What used to seem so obvious for many years (democratic decisions should be based on valid facts and public dialogue), needs to be reminded aloud again.Together with our pupils (14 - 20 years) from four European countries (Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovenia and Germany) we will concentrate on various aspects of democracy and media literacy. We will organize four international meetings for 140 pupils from four different countries, another 1000 students will be involved in project activities on schoolsOur aim is to light up this democratic mindset and reflect it with our students in an interactive, creative and fruitful way. We will reflect specific historical experience of each participant country but also our current life, school, family and society. We want our pupils to be able to feel responsibility for their own choices, to be able to get relevant information and to be resilient against manipulation.Specific results of the project:- 4 international exchanges of groups of pupils from all partner schools (priority International cooperation)- online communication and video channel with short videos prepared by small international groups in English during the meetings reflecting our main topics (priority ICT - new technologies - digital competences)- every school prepares at least 2 project days focusing on media literacy (dealing with fake news) and democracy (priority EU Citizenship, EU awareness and Democracy)This project is prepared by an existing international partnership of schools, however we will involve new teachers from our schools and we will also focus on sharing our methods and experiences in the field of media literacy and civic education.
