The Delegation of the European Union in Albania launches “Track the truth”, an initiative campaign to raise awareness about disinformation

“Track the Truth” comes as a call from the European Union Delegation in Albania to fight together the distorted perceptions of reality. This awareness campaign dedicated to disinformation and misinformation has already started its journey on Tuesday, 31 January, with the inauguration of a unique installation in Skanderbeg Square near the National Historical Museum. It is a graphic tunnel, covered by disinformation and seemingly provocative messages, which invites you to track the truths hidden behind each of them.

 

Citizens, fact-checkers and media professionals are invited to reflect on the impact of disinformation by walking through this nine m-long tunnel, coated inside with true messages, graphically distorted to resemble some of the most common lies on Covid19, the war in Ukraine or climate change issues. The tunnel is equipped with a QR code that links you to a website where the messages are debunked, thanks to verified and objective information. The same platform also offers some tips on how to spot disinformative content.
