ALGOWATCH
Developing algorithm literacy for all, to fight disinformation and foster e-inclusion with quality information for knowledge-based democratic societies
Descrição

ALGOWATCH aims to create a dedicated multi-stakeholder team focused on algo-literacy, an emergent sub-field of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), with a special focus on how to detect and deflect algorithmic disinformation. The action will use an empowerment by design methodology, having participants co-create interactive quizzes and board games, to foster self-efficacy and participatory processes among people with low skills (youth 15+ and multiplier professionals). ALGOWATCH will capitalize on 2022 Crossover project (https://crossover.social), to scale up algo-literacy across Europe. It will unpack the Crossover “Algo literacy for all in 10 key points, with interactive quizzes and board games shared in local exhibits, for better e-inclusion. The action will have a strong focus on behavioural change, motivating watchful participants to build individual resilience and collective resistance to disinformation (verification, advocacy, alternate uses).

The ALGOWATCH work plan includes 4 activities, over 2 years:

1) Produce interactive quizzes and games for awareness;

2) Engage participants in co-creative activities in an exhibit space;

3) Deploy exhibit in workshops with multiplier professionals in formal settings (schools) and in informal settings (libraries, museums);

4) Disseminate the resources for transfer of practices.

The final deliverables will consist of an activity bank and a dissemination toolkit (with pathways for e-inclusion, communication plan and evaluation plan).

The ALGOWATCH consortium brings together all required expertise, each partner working with an extended network of partners and EDMO hubs: 1) S*D (France), a MIL NGO with experience in games, quizzes and project coordination; 2) DKMK (Croatia), a MIL NGO with experience in workshop evaluation; 3) NUIM (Ireland), a university specialised in digital games and empowerment by design; 4) ISCTE (Portugal), a university specialised in training and outreach to diverse communities of practice.
