📲 This week, Connect International attended another webinar organised by the European Digital Education Hub (EDEH) 🌐, presenting the updated Guidelines for Teachers and Educators on Tackling Disinformation and Promoting Digital Literacy through Education and Training.

The session explored how educators can build disinformation resilience in the classroom, covering topics such as identifying propaganda, recognising deepfakes, addressing cyberbullying, and approaching Generative AI critically and responsibly 🤖. The Guidelines also include concrete recommendations for school leaders and policymakers at local, regional, and central level.

Strengthening digital literacy and critical thinking in education is central to building a more informed and rights-aware society a goal that sits at the heart of Connect International's mission.💙
