1st place

Czech Republic - Fakescape

The main winner of the 2021 Youth Karlspreis competition is the Czech project Fakescape. The unique games developed by a student association teach schoolchildren to check, question and read information carefully. Through a combination of board and escape games, young people learn how fake news, disinformation and manipulation work. The members of the association visited around 200 schools in the Czech Republic, Sweden, Spain, Ukraine, Germany and even India, where they were able to teach over 15,000 pupils in more than eleven countries.
