Mural “Think Critically – Verify Information

The mural “Think Critically – Verify Information!” was implemented as a creative follow-up activity of the Break the Fake project, with the aim of making media literacy messages permanently visible in public space. Through artistic expression, students visually articulated the importance of critical thinking and a responsible approach to information.

After educational workshops on media literacy, a need was identified to transfer the acquired knowledge and messages from the classroom into public space. The mural was designed as a lasting reminder for young people not to accept information uncritically, but to verify and analyze it.
