ESHA is taking the lead in disseminating DRONE educational resources by leveraging its extensive European network of school leaders to promote digital literacy and combat disinformation in schools. Our approach is structured around the following key steps:

• Raising awareness of the DRONE project among school leaders, educators, parents, students, associations, policymakers, and EU institutions.
• Providing targeted training to equip these groups with the tools and knowledge needed to counter disinformation in educational settings.
• Expanding outreach by delivering or promoting training activities through conferences, webinars, and ambassador networks.
• Maximizing impact by using partners’ communication channels and educational media to widely share outcomes and best practices.

• Check the Source: Is it a credible outlet? Reputable news sites, academic institutions, and official organisations are your safest bets.
• Look Beyond the Headline: Headlines can be clickbait. Always read the full article before reacting or sharing.
• Cross-Verify Information: Can you find the same info on multiple trustworthy platforms? If not, be skeptical.
• Watch for Emotional Manipulation: If something instantly makes you angry, scared, or overly excited—it may be designed to push your buttons, not inform you.
• Fact-Check: Use tools like Snopes, FactCheck.org, or Google Reverse Image Search to verify claims or images.
• Check the Date: Outdated stories or recycled content are often used to mislead.
• Ask: Who Benefits? Consider the motive behind the message. Is someone trying to sell, sway, or scare?

"Every message, regardless of form or content, is an expression of a need." Marshall Rosenberg
