In the post-truth era we live in now, objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than emotions and personal belief. This post-truth reality is one of the reasons why fake news has proliferated and become so inescapable. On one hand, Internet and social media provide a new channel for fake news (misinformation/disinformation), on the other hand, people seldom verify the information/news they encounter. Misinformation is pervasive and could lead to serious consequences not only for individuals but also for the entire society. Thus, individuals need to be competent and intelligent users of information, should be able to critique the “news” being broadcast, and should be able to seek and find the information that is not being broadcast or otherwise prioritized by algorithms. In other words, in the post-truth age, critical thinking and news literacy skills seem to be the first line of defense for the survival of democracy.The main aims of this project are, firstly to develop a news literacy training course which will be designed to help individuals/adults to develop critical thinking skills needed to judge the reliability and credibility of news/information, and secondly empower trainers (such as librarians and other adult educators) to teach others the skills they need to become smart consumers of news and other information and engaged, informed participants in civic life. Main outputs of this projects will include a study report (O1), which will be based on literature and the findings of a survey on the news consumption, production and sharing behaviour of adults along with their needs for training on news literacy; a course content on news literacy (O2) which will be developed based on the findings and conclusions of the study report; a guidelines for trainers (O3) about how to implement the training course and how to teach adults (andragogy); a MOOC in five languages (O4), first part of which can be used by anyone who likes to learn or teach news literacy and the second part is for the trainers who intend to teach news literacy to adults. Project outcomes will benefit largely from the complementary knowledge and expertise of the partners, namely a public library (Belgrade City Library, RS), a higher education institution (Hacettepe University, TR), an adult education center (UPI Žalec, SI), and a national library (National Library of Latvia, LV). Literature search, both quantitative (data from survey, evaluation forms, pre and post tests) and qualitative (data from observations and feedback) methodologies along with several project management methodologies and tools will be employed. Within the project one transnational training activity will be organized to train-the-trainers (20). Trained trainers, afterwards, will train adults (80) in each country. Participants will be selected mainly based on their interest in the subject and personal qualities such as openness, communication skills, flexibility, and curiosity. Additionally four multiplier events will be organized (one in each partner country) to disseminate the intellectual outputs of the project. The desired impacts of the project are empowering adults with news literacy and critical thinking skills for post truth age to foster democracy and social inclusion; improved knowledge and skills of the partner organizations’ staff as future trainers on the subject; empowered librarians and adult trainers to teach news literacy; increased volume of cooperation between adult education providers from different sectors throughout Europe; providing effective online training content which is open to all. The project activities and results will produce benefits not only for the partners and subjects directly involved in the project but also for other indirect target groups and stakeholders across Europe and potentially the whole civil society at large, because project outputs will remain available also after the project ends. On all levels project will raise the awareness on the importance of critical thinking and news literacy competences. Trainers (who are trained within the project) will be of key importance for sustainability and long-term impact by ensuring the maintenance and the further development of the project outcomes. They will be using the training content and the guidelines (project outputs) in their day to day work. The potential for continuous use will secure the sustainability. Partners will keep using, further adapting, and developing when needed the course and guidelines (in other word the MOOC as a whole). Furthermore, when the project is completed all results/outputs will be licensed under Creative Commons which grants freedom to use, share copies, make and share remixes and other derivatives for any purpose. This will increase the long term impact (outreach, number of people who can benefit) and brings in a good potential for transferability as well sustainability.
