In the 21st century, the use of technology and being online are a way of life. That is why, being good digital citizens and coaching students to model good digital citizenship and safe online behavior takes on greater importance. The Internet is becoming a primary hub for everything from communication and education to commerce and social networking. For each of these venues, we must strive to agree upon consistent values and limitations which will prevent people from being exposed to content such as extreme violence, pornography, gambling, or illegal downloads. As we move forward into an era driven by the capacities of online media, the issue of access must be addressed. This is the world we live in. We need to be ready for it - that’s why digital readiness isn’t just about deciding when or when your child shouldn’t have access to smart devices. It’s about how and when you to teach them to protect themselves long after you lay down the parental controls. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage. The purpose of this project is to equip the technology users with vital skills to survive in the digital world.In order to develop digital literacy, the following topics will be studied during the project; - Information Literacy - Communication Literacy - Visual Literacy - Social Literacy - Technology Literacy - Media Literacy The project's objectives are; -develop digital literacy skills of the participants -develop a strategy for using skills in information literacy over an extended period of time; -teach students about both the benefits and risks of the online world and help students stay safer there -monitor progress and adapt strategy as necessary, to achieve the quality of outcomes required. -evaluate overall strategy and present outcomes from your work, including citations and a bibliography. -become a confident “Digital Citizenship Champion” in their community. -recognise where there is a knowledge or information ‘gap’, and identify what type of information you need to fill it. There are partners from Turkey,Bulgaria,Greece,Poland,Portugal and England. There will be 6 transnational project meetings in our 2-year project.The project staff will attend those meetings.The first transnational meeting is designed as the kick-off meeting in Turkey.(October,2017)In this meeting we will follow the definition of the base elements of ourproject and other project planning activities. This meeting will introduce the members of the project team and provide the opportunity to discuss the role of team members again.The second transnational project meeting will be in Bulgaria which will be mainly on ''Exploitation''.(April,2018)The third transnational project meeting will be in Portugal to discuss how to raise the visibility of the project.(June,2018).The fourth transnational project meeting will be in Poland to prepare a dissemination plan altogether.(October,2018) The fifth transnational project meeting will be in April,2019 in England to find some ways to ensure that project deliverables remain available in the foreseeable future(sustainability of the project).The final transnational project meeting will be in Greece in June,2019 to evaluate all the project activities(Evaluation).We hope that this project will be able to contribute to the awareness towards the importance of digital literacy. The outputs of the project will be accesible for everyone through the website and also in a ready to use form distributed by coordinator We will also send mails and other communication towards schools and regional authorities. Since the outputs will be in English the language barrier might be a problem, but on the website we will provide translations in all the project partners languages. Afterwards users form other countires will be able to add their own mothertongue.

Fake-news and post-truth have highlighted misinformation, a phenomenon that has always existed but that the possibilities Internet offer nowadays has allowed it to rocket in recent years. Misinformation affects all areas of knowledge with potentially adverse consequences on individuals and society. In fact, when misinformation concerns subject a lot, the possibility of adverse effects on society increases. This is the case of health misinformation that has lately threatened public health in some regions. One of the most well-known cases is the unproven yet rejected link between childhood vaccination and autism, where a poorly carried-out study that had been debunked originated a whole anti-vaccine movement. This movement is still prevalent and quite active in some countries and has derived in the decisions of many parents to not vaccinate their children, leading to an increase in vaccine-preventable diseases, causing a significant rise in resources to overcome this public-health crisis. Avoiding or counteracting misleading health information is one of the main concerns of the scientific and medical community. However, debunking misinformation is more challenging than it seems. Whether a user takes science and health information as true or not depends more on psychological reasons than on scientific literacy, thus, most commonly, once a statement is set as true, the complete debunking is difficult to assess. Moreover, even further, there is evidence that when accurate information is presented along with a contrary counter frame, the presence of misinformation causes people to stop believing in facts altogether. Previous studies have shown that corrections to beliefs can be work when they are done quickly and clearly and they are more effective when the correcting messages are not threatening nor require a change in people’s attitude. Bearing this in mind, this Erasmus+ project seeks to provide internet users with a tool to access contrasted information about the current health misinformation circulating on social media in order to avoid its solidification. Even though the tool will be accessible by all audiences, the user interface will be designed so adult learners can easily make use of it. The target group is people over 65 who had access to the internet late in their life. A recent study points out that, users over 65 are people that share more articles from fake news domains. This issue can be due to the fact that elderly people lack the digital literacy skills of their younger counterparts. Therefore, we propose an application where this population group can encounter an easy to use tool to discern whether the information they have received is true or not. The project will take into account the gender perspective, focusing on women who did not have access to education since they are usually the carers in their family and hoaxes can affect their health seriously. The main objectives of this projects are 1) to produce a user-friendly ICT platform to function as a trustful source of information for health-related issues; 2) to provide European citizens with a tool to avoid the instauration of health misleading information, and 3) to improve literacy in health-related issues amongst the European population, especially citizens over 65 years old.NoRumourHealth partners seek to obtain an ICT platform containing all the required information for debunking health misinformation, with information available in the different languages of the participating countries, to create four e-modules of free-access to teach how to discern and counteract health-related misinformation and to generate an on-line book including the most common health misinformation in the participating countries and the content of the e-modules. These activities will improve the transnational relations among partners concerned about Health misinformation; to improve the ICT skills of adult learners, and to improve the health literacy of European citizens over 65, especially women. To do so, not only all the material will be adapted to this target audience but they will also participate actively in the testing of the ICT tool and the e-modules to ensure the adequacy of the content and features.Moreover, RumourHealth also wants to bring an initiative like Salud sin Bulos, Trueinchain, to other countries of the European Union. This initiative provides the citizens with a platform to consult and report health-related misinformation.
