Partner session: Understand Emotions. Become Resilient to Disinformation (Aneta Ziemińska & Hubert Pajączkowski).
Our emotions play a crucial role in our vulnerability to misinformation, both online and offline. During our session, we will introduce “Fake kNOw more,” (en version) - an educational initiative developed in collaboration with partners from Poland, Spain, Romania, and the Czech Republic. This program focuses on building resilience to disinformation by promoting self-awareness. By understanding how emotions shape our responses, participants can navigate digital spaces thoughtfully. Join us to explore innovative solutions and become more mindful digital citizens.


Our emotions wield a powerful influence over us, shaping not only our real-world interactions but also our online behavior. This emotional impact significantly affects our vulnerability to misinformation.

In our session, we'll introduce you to ‘Fake kNOw more’, an educational initiative crafted by the School with Class Foundation in collaboration with partners from Poland, Spain, Romania, and the Czech Republic. The program is based on an innovative and open approach to building resilience to disinformation through self-awareness and includes a comprehensive curriculum and an engaging educational game.

In ‘Fake kNOw more’, we guide young individuals in understanding how their emotions and personal experiences shape their responses. By cultivating this awareness, they can navigate both online and offline spaces with greater thoughtfulness and mindfulness. Join us to explore these innovative solutions and learn how we can all become more thoughtful digital citizens.

Objectives:
Participants will get to know our approach of building resilience to disinformation through self-awareness.
Participants will get to know our materials and how they can use them and localize to their local context.
