<< Objectives >>The project’s specific objectives are: to identify, study and understand the practices, methods and approaches used by university students and related to information verification; to critically analyse, update and extend the existing fact-checking methodology by introducing emerging practices and cognitive impact vectors; to design an online course compatible with the updated and validated fact-checking methodology; to model efficient pathways for increased outreach and impact of fact-checking.<< Implementation >>The main activities are: 2 physical workshops; bi-monthly virtual PMB meetings; 2 physical trainings (for moderators and content creators); focus groups in 4 partner countries; desktop and online research; revision and update of fact-checking methodology; pilot-testing and validation of updated methodology; development of content for an online course on the updated methodology; modelling pathways for increased impact of fact-checking; fact-checking challenge contest as a dissemination activity.<< Results >>The main results are: a collection of practices observed in university focus groups and used by young adults; 4 moderators trained to run focus groups; revised, updated and extended fact-checking methodology, incorporating new practices and cognitive impact vectors; short-term staff training on methodology to prepare for the course creation; a comprehensive online course developed on the basis of the updated and extended fact-checking methodology and a collection of fact-checking digital tools.
