Description

Young people are quite permeable to fake news, as it is the age group that spends the biggest amount of time online and they still don’t have the skills and knowledge to separate fake from unusual news. “Aquacultura de Sereias, Ltd” wants to fight fake news in a universe of 340000 students, through a videogame/app and street theatre, empowering 30 young people in the campaign. At first, the team will learn the mechanisms to spot fake news, in order to devise street performances. This will feed a video-game/app that will be built along 6 months by young students. Once all done, the theatre will go to the street, spreading out the app, while we multiply the contacts with schools from around the country in order to have a big competition. We will end with a final gathering with the top players. We will have a theoretical manual about fake news, a play (and the theatre shows), videos about the creation process, a site, blog and an app that will remain at the online shops.
