About Level Up

Level Up is a project co-funded by the European Union that aims to help older adults develop a critical approach to information consumption, strengthen their resilience to disinformation, and enhance their media literacy skills.

Through educational resources, videos, reflective activities, and an educational video game, older adults will improve their digital competences and gain confidence to navigate today's complex information environment more safely.

Thanks to the collaborative work of the project's five partner organisations, five training modules have been developed covering key topics such as general disinformation, health, science and climate change, conspiracy theories, artificial intelligence, and online scams.

Each module includes an explanatory video and infographic, as well as additional activities to reinforce the knowledge acquired.

The project also features an educational video game that simulates real-life situations of digital content consumption, allowing users to put into practice what they have learned about media behaviour through the project's educational resources.

In addition, a Trainers Guide has been designed for professionals and educators, providing them with tools to integrate the project's materials into their own workshops and training programmes.

Duration: 1 November 2024 - 31 October 2026.
