Project Real: Can you recognise fake news?
Fake news spreads 6 times quicker than the truth and is believed 75% of the time. Knowing this, we developed ‘Project Real’ in collaboration with young people, influencers and teachers. In the main project we developed materials to help young people develop their skills in recognising fake news. In this session will show you some examples of these, including news, photos and videos and see if you can recognise which are real and which are fake. This activity is aimed at families with children aged 8-13.
In this video, Dr Skipper will introduce Project Real and the SHARE guidelines and will show some of the materials. You will need to guess whether each story or photo is real or fake and why you think that. In the second video, she will show examples of real and fake videos and again ask you which are real and fake. She will also discuss important questions about fake news.
