INTRO
In an age of rapid information exchange, misinformation threatens societal trust and informed decision-making. Digital isolation and exposure to like-minded perspectives might amplify biases and undermine critical thinking.
Tackling this challenge requires innovative solutions that foster literacy and resilience in navigating the digital landscape. This competition invites participants to design services that empower people to evaluate information, challenge assumptions, and embrace diverse perspectives.
By enhancing truth-seeking habits and fostering informed engagement, these solutions aim to strengthen communities, promote shared understanding, and support a culture of transparency in a complex and interconnected world.
BRIEF
Participants are invited to design a service proposal that empowers people to critically engage with information, combat misinformation, and address potential challenges such as isolation within digital bubbles or the influence of like-minded groups.
While these factors may not always be present, proposals should consider strategies to encourage diverse perspectives and reduce the reinforcement of confirmation biases when relevant.
The service should promote literacy and education as lifelong tools, integrating innovative approaches to reach diverse groups. Solutions could explore digital services for critical analysis, tools for fostering diverse perspectives, local initiatives, or strategies to improve digital literacy.
Proposals should address the social, cultural, and technological dimensions of truth-building and offer practical, adaptable, and impactful approaches. Candidates are encouraged to explore cross-disciplinary perspectives and deliver scalable frameworks. Evaluation will prioritise originality, inclusivity, applicability, and the service’s capacity to promote informed, open-minded, and resilient communities.
