It comes as no surprise that digital revolution has led to the widespread dissemination of misinformation rendering the evaluation of the content’s credibility extremely important, since the adverse impacts of fake news could be not only disturbing, but also misleading, causing inappropriate behaviors. Therefore, Finland is investigating innovative methods to help students learn to identify false information and reinforce them against propaganda. It is evident that this Nordic country could set an example, since based on a survey published in October by the Open Society Institute in Bulgaria, ranked first out of numerous European countries regarding resilience against misinformation for the fifth time in a row.
