SLACC - Stop Lies Against Climate Change
… climate change is not man-made. The climate has always been changing after all. Climate change is a lie to promote certain interests …. There is a huge stream of disinformation and fake news aimed at confusing public opinion and raising doubts about the existence of climate change. This is where the SLACC project comes into play. SLACC aims to equip young people with the necessary skills to specifically tackle climate lies and act as climate ambassadors. To this end, interactive exercises, a gamified platform and a learning App were develop.
