Toolkit Design, Customized Workshop
A comprehensive curriculum about digital literacy and how to fight misinformation and disinformation, taught to more than 10,000 all over the Philippines
The Philippines is battling an infodemic, which worsened during the COVID-19 crisis and the 2022 Philippine elections. Together with the ASEAN Foundation, Google Foundation, and Break the Fake Movement, we have created #DigiTalino (DigiSmart), a two-hour workshop designed to teach participants the basics of digital literacy and equip them with the tools they need to spot misinformation and disinformation.
“We are proud to support the ASEAN Foundation and local organizations, Break the Fake Movement and Limitless Lab in empowering people across the region with crucial media literacy skills that will be key in enabling them to remain vigilant as they navigate an increasingly online world.” - Marija Ralic, Lead for Google.org APAC.
We asked stakeholders what digital literacy is for them and what their challenges are when encountering fake news.
We pinpointed key insights and grouped them, from which we gathered that there is a need to strengthen the habit of searching to fact-check information.
We started our lo-fi curriculum before creating a full design complete with a storyline and relatable characters.
