CLIC - Curate Learning, Inform Creatively
CLIC (Curate Learning, Inform Creatively) is an innovative European media project countering disinformation by bringing major news organisations together with digital content creators.
The aim is to vastly increase the reach of fact-checkers' work during critical election cycles in France and Slovenia - countries targeted by malevolent actors seeking to interfere in the democratic process.
Running until June 2027, CLIC is co-financed by the European Commission. Content, knowledge, and techniques from the project will be shared with other European fact-checking initiatives, helping make the EU more resilient in the face of disinformation.
As consortium leader, Agence France-Presse (AFP) has teamed up with international broadcaster France Médias Monde and Slovenian investigative journalism bureau Oštro to produce hundreds of social media videos, carousels, and podcasts exposing false and misleading claims - and providing users with the tools to identify them.
To engage new audiences, with a focus on younger generations, this work is being amplified by influencial content creators: César Roussel (César Culture G) and Jamy Gourmaud (Jamy - Épicurieux) in France, alongside Maša Muster and Nik Škrlec in Slovenia.
