To achieve this, TackleDisInfo is set to create a VET educational package consisting of 4 modules, which will be transformed into an interactive digital platform utilising gamification technique to enhance digital literacy and critical thinking skills, consistent with the EU’s (2022) Guidelines on Tackling Disinformation and Promoting Digital Literacy. It will be rolled out across 5 EU countries, targeting a minimum of 150 VET educators and trainers. Additionally, the project will launch awareness campaigns, featuring an international conference and 4 Information Days.
