The European Commission's European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) has approved a project promoted by the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló aimed at combating the effects of the dissemination of fake news during election campaigns. Through educational actions and research, this initiative aims to provide citizens with the necessary tools to curb this phenomenon.

Disinformation is a serious threat to democracy, especially during election campaign periods. The dissemination of fake news during these times can alter citizens' voting decisions by causing them to choose candidates who do not really adhere to their preferences due to the effect of lies. Fake news can also generate processes of political destabilisation or even change electoral results due to foreign interference in the digital arena. Therefore, it is essential to train and raise awareness among citizens to minimise the negative effects of disinformation during elections.  
  
To this end, the UJI will develop the project entitled "Disinformation, Elections and Democratic Resilience in the European Union (DISEDER-EU)". This initiative is funded with 30,000 euros by the EACEA of the European Commission within the Jean Monnet actions. Under the direction of Andreu Casero Ripollés, Professor of Journalism in the Department of Communication Sciences at the UJI, this project will run from 2024 to 2026.

Its main objective is to provide training on electoral disinformation and its democratic consequences so that citizens can fight more efficiently against this phenomenon. To this end, among other actions, a totally free online course will be offered through the website https://diseder-eu.es, with the participation of lecturers  from several Spanish universities (UJI, Seville, Carlos III, Santiago de Compostela and Rey Juan Carlos) and foreign universities (Chile, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Ecuador and Argentina).  
  
"Our aim is that this course reaches both southern European countries and Latin America to improve the ability to deal with false information during elections for as many people as possible", says Professor Casero. In this way, the UJI reinforces its commitment to society to contribute to the improvement of democratic processes, since this action is linked to the action plan for European democracy and the plan against disinformation, both promoted by the European Union.
