As AI-generated images, edited videos, and misleading visuals circulate more easily than ever, individuals and educators face growing challenges in verifying what they see online. This session looked back on the VISAVIS Project, a European initiative designed to strengthen people\u2019s ability to detect manipulated or out-of-context visual content. By combining quick and accessible digital verification tools with engaging media literacy training, VISAVIS supported citizens in developing both the practical and critical skills needed to navigate today\u2019s complex online environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The session offered an overview of the project\u2019s approach, including its citizen-science testing in Belgium and Sweden, and featured testimonials from guest participants involved in shaping the tools and learning resources. It also highlighted how professionals, especially those working in adult education, libraries, community learning, and media literacy, could integrate VISAVIS methods into their practice to better support informed, resilient digital engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Target group:<\/strong> Media literacy educators, adult learning providers, librarians, teachers, community facilitators, civil society actors, fact-checkers, researchers, media professionals, public authorities, and all stakeholders interested in combating visual misinformation and strengthening digital resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
