PROJECT OUTLINE
AONTAS will use an integrated curriculum and change-oriented approach
to enable marginalised group participation and build digital capacity.
The activity workbook will be delivered to several different groups
identified as susceptible to receiving disinformation.
The emphasis of the activity workbook will be on the promotion of
digital competencies to ensure participants engage with digital
technologies in a critical, collaborative and creative way, and
understand how disinformation can impact on the human rights of ethnic
minorities.
As a result of this project, the adult and community education sector
will be better equipped to address racism arising from online
disinformation with a free, accessible and community driven training
tool.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
PROJECT AIM
The overall aim of Community Education Against Disinformation – An
AONTAS adult learning programme is to co-create a community education
activity workbook addressing issues of online disinformation. The
workbook will support providers in promoting solidarity and inclusion
for diverse communities living side by side.
Disinformation is on the rise in Ireland, evidenced by the escalation
in anti-migration protests and the Dublin riots in recent months.
Racist disinformation has become a feature of challenging discussion
amongst learners in education centres across the country. AONTAS’s
network of over * members has voiced strong
demand in the adult education sector for ways to address these
challenges. This is further supported by AONTAS’s local and national
research.
The project will build practitioners’ capacity to address
disinformation and racism in the classroom, fostering changes in
learners’ understanding of how disinformation impacts the human
rights of ethnic minorities.
STORYTELLING WORKSHOP
Storytelling can present counter-narratives that challenge dominant
stereotypes and biases. By highlighting the strengths, resilience, and
positive contributions of marginalized groups, stories can dismantle
harmful myths and prejudices.
A person’s story might be about information that is specifically
painful or traumatic in their life, AONTAS seek to ensure culturally
sensitive psychosocial support will be offered to participants in a
safe environment by an experienced professional.
The Community Education Against Disinformation project will include a
story telling element whereby members of two different communities in
Ireland will be supported to produce their own stories. The first
group will consist of those who have recently migrated to Ireland. The
second group will consist of older people who will have experience of
migrating to Britain between the *s and **Apply

designed to showcase the rich and diverse experiences of migrants in
Ireland.
