Project

The Anti-Rumour Toolkit is a collection of 20 online tools that help youth workers and young people to:

  • Identify conspiracy theories and disinformation
  • Learn about currently circulating fake news
  • Strengthen media literacy and gain awareness regarding disinformation methods
    and manipulation tactics

The included tools are online applications (e.g. chatbots, search engines) that help with verifiying information that is found online, serious games that strengthen media literacy and information literacy, tools that help evaluate sources’ credibility, as websites that regularly publish fact-checking articles as well as tools that can help detect AI-generated content. We cluster these tools into three categories: Online Fact-Checking Tools, Serious Games and Tools to Identify AI-generated content.

Each tool is accompanied by instructions on how to use it as well as information on its strengths and weaknesses, contexts of use, supported languages and suggested age groups for users. For the more complex tools, the Anti-Rumour toolkit also provides short tutorial videos.

The Anti-Rumour consortium selected these 20 tools based on the needs of youth workers and educators in the four partner countries, which were assessed via an online survey, while keeping a balance between different types of tools, supported languages and suitability for usage in Cyprus, Germany, Greece and Spain.
