Purpose of Project

Learning on-the-go for journalists, civil society activists and human rights defenders

The Digital Enquirer Kit aims to empower people in essential roles to make the internet a safer space, giving them the tools to cut through misinformation and protect their online content. In today’s digital space, with an overwhelming amount of information readily available, the rapid spread of misinformation poses a global threat to both societies and individuals. The circulation of misinformation around COVID-19 is only one example of how false information can severely hamper public health, social cohesion and the functioning of democracies. In addition to empowering journalists, activists and human rights defenders, the project seeks to support local NGOs in establishing communities of practice, as well as provide civil society actors with materials on how to localize and create additional content. The Digital Enquirer Kit contains a total of six modules, made available through the e-learning platform atingi.org and offered in eleven languages, easily accessible on mobile phones.
