The goal of the project is to equip adult educators with AI-powered tools and innovative training methods to combat online disinformation among adult learners vulnerable to disinformation and radicalisation. By delivering a structured digital literacy program with innovative AI tools, this project will empower educators to engage marginalised groups, enhance critical thinking, and foster community resilience against radicalisation.

Planned activities: • Develop a non-formal learning program for adult educators, including an online course, manual, and webinar on combating disinformation. • Create interactive digital tools, such as an online game and AI-powered chatbot, to build critical thinking skills of vulnerable adults. • Organise online workshops and a hybrid symposium to foster collaboration and share best practices. • Disseminate results via publications, events, public lectures, and social media.

The project will equip adult educators with innovative digital tools and educational resources to enhance digital literacy and critical thinking among vulnerable adults. These tools will empower adult educators to help learners critically assess online information, reducing susceptibility to disinformation. By fostering resilience to online manipulation, the project promotes democratic values, human rights, and tolerance, ensuring a scalable and lasting impact across diverse EU communities.
