Grant Description

Drawing on the science of prebunking and the popularity and penetration of video games, the implementer will develop an evergreen game in a sandbox platform, with an existing fan base, in which participants play a game that builds cognitive resilience to authoritarianism and promotes democratic norms and values. The game will increase player skepticism of foreign propaganda and disinformation by increasing player media literacy and digital safety.
