The Level Up Project was an innovative educational initiative that enhanced media literacy among older Europeans through engaging, game-based learning methods. Recognizing the increased vulnerability of seniors to online misinformation and disinformation, the project empowered participants with the skills needed to critically navigate today’s complex digital landscape. By incorporating gamification into its approach, the initiative made learning accessible, interactive, and enjoyable for older adults.
The project addressed a pressing need across Europe: closing the digital literacy gap among older populations and enabling them to participate confidently and safely in online spaces. The project established its own webpage with interactive, educational resources and a video game called Veri. Through targeted workshops, learning activities, and a collaborative online platform, Level Up equipped participants with tools to assess digital content, identify manipulative narratives, and share learned strategies with their peers.
