“Can I trust you?” Europeana learning scenario

The learning scenario focused on media literacy and is linked to the transversal discipline “civic education”. The teacher guides the students (12 - 13 years old) to reflect on the importance of processing information critically using qualified data and sources. The exposure of citizens to non-truthful information on a large scale is a great challenge that sees Europe occupied in numerous education contrast actions. In fact, the spread of online fake news in Europe is considered a serious threat to European democratic values and systems. At the center of the learning experience is the knowledge and verification of data and information relating to the phenomenon of human migration. Students are guided to verify their perceptions on the migratory phenomenon (gained through exposure to the media) and to deepen the knowledge of the migrant as a human being bearer of experiences and culture.
