Partnership with the “How not to become a vegetable” volunteer initiative on information hygiene
CISC became a partner of the “How not to become a vegetable” volunteer initiative on information hygiene.
A social project to educate teachers on the basics of information hygiene will start in September. To do this, volunteers created a training course and a book, “How not to become a vegetable. Instructions for survival in the InfoSpace”.
The project aims to train 440,000 Ukrainian teachers in basic information hygiene during the 2021-2022 school year. 10 hryvnias from each sold book go to purchase books for teachers. We are proud to have joined a project of great value to Ukrainian education and directly to every Ukrainian teacher.
♦ Mykhailo Alyokhin, Deputy Director of the Educational Program of CISCl, together with psychologist Kateryna Holzberg, contributed to creating a module for teachers: how to pass on their knowledge to colleagues and parents. In total, the course includes 4 modules, as well as a separate module for teachers. The module is a set of educational videos, presentations, additional materials (articles, videos, etc.), abstracts, films, and tests to test knowledge to study and consolidate information from different angles and submissions. Upon graduation, participants receive certificates (for teachers, they will confirm advanced training).
“We are currently working on two short-term tasks – 1) to update the topic of hygiene / to convey its importance for everyone, especially for teachers; 2) teach Ukrainians and teachers the alphabet of info hygiene. That is so that they know how modern/current sources of communication function and manipulate and understand the importance of the first source from which we learn news/answers to questions. Our activity aims to teach these basic principles to 7 million Ukrainians (active population) by 2024. Teachers (440,000) are a significant segment. If we succeed in this, then info hygiene will become the same norm as health or volunteering, and we will launch qualitative changes in society. I consider the partnership with KMDSH very valuable in openness to the new and understanding the importance. “
“I believe that our partnership is an important step towards building an information-literate and healthy society. Today, any information can get into the unlimited Internet space, and no one is responsible for its truthfulness and correctness. A person’s ability to analyze should be the filter that promotes healthy “consumption” of information. It takes effort to learn this skill. We devote a lot of time to this at CISC, both during teacher training and in-school classes for students. Happy to join the volunteer initiative. This is a precious project for us. “
