Facts and humour against Fake News
The aim of the winning project is to provide fact-based,
interdisciplinary education around myths and fake news about the
European Union and the coronavirus through online events such as
workshops, podcasts and discussions. Misinformation and conspiracy
theories are exposed and debunked - also with humour. With the
video format 'Make Europa Gscheit Again' (M.E.G.A.), the podcast
series 'Europa gefühlsecht - Corona Spezial' or the online
discussion round #Ferngespräch, young people in particular can
obtain information and become active themselves in a low-threshold
manner. The projects take place regionally, trans-regionally and
across borders and promote a positive, European sense of community.
Two-day event
In line with this year's focus on 'Civil society commitment and
the contribution of young Europeans in times of crisis', young
people were invited to a dialogue at Innsbruck's City Hall. Some
500 students from Tyrolean schools exchanged views with the award
winners in the hybrid interactive workshop "Fake oder Fakt?
#EuropagegenCovid19 live in action". Under the motto 'Experience
(y)our Europe', Maria-Theresien-Strasse was transformed into a
'little Europe': the award winners and four other initiatives
invited to exchange on site. Various European institutions,
associations and projects were represented at information stands,
and gave insights into life in Europe. View more on

Europe-wide interest
The 10,000 euro prize was awarded with the focus on 'Facing
challenges together - for a stronger Europe'. The great
international interest was reflected in the total of 56
applications from 14 European countries.
