Fostering Resilience Against Misinformation in Health - FRAMe Health

The project FRAMe Health aims to enhance the health literacy (HL) of vulnerable adults increasing their knowledge of and equipping them with skills to address disinformation, fostering disinformation-resilient behaviour, and promoting their digital readiness and wellbeing. Through a community infodemic management program, the project also seeks a systemic impact on adult education institutions in Italy and Bulgaria, by improving the competences of educators to apply innovative methodologies for teaching health literacy in a digital environment.

In view of the Program priorities, the project pursues the following specific objectives:

  1. Investigating the relationship between exposure to health disinformation and the impact on the wellbeing of vulnerable communities.
  2. Improving the skills and knowledge of adult educators to tackle disinformation through health literacy training.
  3. Supporting peer learning and reducing epistemic injustice in adult education via community-driven health literacy training.
  4. Promoting common EU values and community-based civic engagement.
  5. Strengthening multi-stakeholder cross-country cooperation to tackle health disinformation.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES

The project will engage participants in national mapping of health literacy resources; co-creation workshops with target groups and stakeholders to assess the mapping results; developing a Community Infodemic Management and Health Literacy Program, tested in an international training of trainers; capacity building for partners and peers: two dissemination workshops, projects dissemination, exploitation, and communication.
