Fakt oder Fake? - Fact or fake?
Published on the occasion of Safer Internet Day 2023, this brochure by ISPA.at is intended to help internet users to expose fake news for what it is. The ISPA brochure explains how fake news works and how it tries to attract readers' attention, for example, by using keywords such as "shocking" and "scandal", time references that make it seem current such as "yesterday" or "last Wednesday", or alleged sources such as "a former employee". In short and compact tips, ISPA shows ways in which users can question the accuracy of online reports. For example, the question of whether images have been taken out of context or older images have been reused can be quickly resolved using reverse image search. Image metadata can also be queried, which provides information about the origin and time of capture of an image. So-called "hoax" databases document and expose fake news; a look at one of these can reveal a report as a recycled fake news story, for example.

Občankáři
In 2014, we founded the Association of Civic Education and Social Science Teachers, zs, and several reasons led us to do so. On the one hand, it was increasing the demands on our subject in the sense that the abilities and skills of our pupils were as good as possible. On the other hand, however, the hourly subsidies for teaching our subject were constantly decreasing. In many schools, we only have one hour a week on the basics of law, financial literacy, acquiring a political orientation, understanding one's own personality, the media and the international situation, because the emphasis is on other subjects. We also perceived the fluctuating level of preparedness of graduates of pedagogical universities, whose studies often do not sufficiently prepare them for the teaching profession. We were troubled by the almost non-existent communication between the teachers of our subject across the Czech Republic and insufficient methodological support in some teaching areas. However, the main reason for the establishment of our Association was something that we encountered in pupils regardless of the type of school they attend - a decrease in civic (self) awareness and the ability to navigate current social events. And because we believe that civic education and social sciences should prepare children for life in the 21st century and lead them to respect moral and legal values, we decided to do something about it. We know that we have to start with ourselves, that is why in the Association we focus on supporting teachers (on knowledge and work methods) and we are looking for ways to support their professional development and open cooperation.
