SLOVENIA, March 13 - The quiz presents the most common forms of information manipulation encountered in the digital environment in a clear and practical way. It also offers concrete examples through which users can test their knowledge and their ability to recognise misleading content.

The quiz has been developed for educational and awareness-raising purposes, as understanding how disinformation works is essential for effectively preventing its spread. The quiz is anonymous and intended solely for education and awareness-raising, as well as for encouraging critical thinking. It serves as a tool to help users better understand how to recognise and prevent the spread of disinformation. Users are encouraged to think critically and always verify information through reliable and credible sources, and to ask themselves, when confronted with questionable content, who created it, for what purpose and whether it is supported by evidence.

The project forms part of the reREAD, reTHINK, RECHECK campaign, first launched by the Government Communication Office ahead of the 2024 European elections. The campaign highlights the growing presence of disinformation and its harmful impact on society. It emphasises that anyone can become a victim of disinformation. Disinformation fuels polarisation, undermines trust in institutions, complicates informed decision-making and affects democratic processes. In crisis situations, such as natural disasters, health crises or political tensions, the spread of false information can cause confusion, panic or even endanger people's safety. Strengthening resilience against information manipulation is therefore essential for democracy.
