Teaching the teachers to resist disinformation
The project aims to empower pro-democratic teachers in Russia and beyond by establishing a safe educational space that offers an alternative to state-controlled disinformation and propaganda. It will feature three main components:
(1) a series of online classes, along with peer-to-peer support networks for educators;
(2) in-person workshop for opinion leaders in the sphere of humanistic education;
(3) an online resource centre devoted to teaching materials free from propaganda. This centre will focus on the creation and distribution of fact-based and critically reflected teaching materials for school teachers of history and social sciences.
The project has started in June 2024 with financial support from the Eastern partnership program “Expanding Cooperation with Civil Society in the Eastern Partnership Countries and Russia” of the Federal Foreign Office.
