Abstract
Today, access to daily news is easier than ever. Online misinformation is increasing and is making our societies face great challenges. Our goal aims at providing a support for media education programs, which can help raise young adults’ conscientiousness of the dangers related to fake news. Following on from this idea, we designed a board game, called UNISON in partnership with an academic library. The board game has been tested in real conditions. First results show that the majority of participants learnt new knowledge about fake news and media.
