STILL ACTIVE
(In)fórmate, also known as Surfear la Red, is a training project focusing on the consumption of media and online information. The main objective is to educate children and adolescents in the responsible and safe use of the internet. Through trainings that promote critical thinking skills, youth learn how to distinguish between good and bad content and identify reliable online resources. One of the trainings consists of an online game called Eraser which promotes media literacy through critical thinking among students aged 14 to 16 years old who are studying in Spanish secondary schools. Through four modules ERASER shows students the various types of misinformation that exist on the internet based on real cases. It provides them with tools and strategies to detect and confront such misinformation, as well as to avoid generating misinformation when they create their own digital content.
More than 25,000 students and over 2,000 teachers have participated in the gamified training Eraser so far.
The programme's videos have nearly one million views.
