As the 2024 European Parliament elections approach, millions of Europeans will play a crucial role in shaping the future of European democracy by voting. At the same time, widespread disinformation campaigns intended to undermine the electoral process have been detected across the EU.<\/p>\n\n
In response to this pressing challenge, EDMO and the EDMO Hubs launch an online campaign titled \u201cBe Election Smart\u201d on Monday April 29. This campaign will run for six weeks, aiming to support and empower European citizens in navigating the information landscape surrounding the European Parliament elections. Each Monday will see a new \u201cBe Election Smart\u201d message published along with practical tips to encourage citizens to discern whether the information they find is accurate and reliable. These messages and tips will be disseminated extensively across EDMO\u2019s networks and translated by local EDMO Hub experts into the different EU languages, ensuring accessibility and relevance to local contexts, nuances, and cultural references.<\/p>\n\n
The \u201cBe Election Smart\u201d campaign hopes to serve as a beacon of guidance and empowerment, enabling European citizens to make informed decisions and to help safeguard the integrity of the democratic process.<\/p>\n\n
Life is complicated, and so is politics. Headlines are designed to catch your eye, but a headline can\u2019t give the full story, and neither can a short social media post. If it sounds unbelievable, it probably is. So, read the whole story, not just the headline. #BeElectionSmart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
