Los responsables de Verificat hicieron balance del proyecto Seniores United against Misisformation, SUM, en la sede de la Comisión Europea en Barcelona. La iniciativa ha llegado a un total de 400 personas senior en Europa gracias a una red de 65 voluntarios, 16 de los cuales, en Catalunya, formados por Verificat.

El hito se ha conseguido gracias a una red de 65 voluntarios sénior a nivel europeo, de los cuales 16 han sido entrenados en Catalunya por Verificat con técnicas para detectar información falsa o engañosa, identificar fuentes fiables y entender el funcionamiento de las redes sociales. Verificat es miembro de IBERIFIER.

La iniciativa quiere «garantizar la integridad informativa, entendida como el rigor, la coherencia y la calidad del sistema informativo», ha explicado Cristina Figueras, responsable del área educativa de VerificatMás información.
