CALYPSO GR (Collaborative AnaLYsis and exPosure of diSinformatiOn) will offer a space for Greek fact-checkers to work, cooperate and expand their knowledge while using cutting-edge technology.

CALYPSO GR will create a gamified crowdsourcing environment for citizens, fact-checkers and domain experts to collaborate to combat disinformation in Greece. The general public will submit suspected cases of disinformation, so that the dedicated fact-checking team of CALYPSO GR will verify them and therefore expose disinformation in real time.

The project’s aim is to significantly decrease the impact of fake news in Greece, while offering job opportunities and training to fact-checkers. The participants will benefit from an innovative platform, designed and developed for the project.

Lastly, the project will generate media literacy material, research, workshops and communication activities that will further increase its impact and sustainability.
