The Open Your Eyes project "targets specifically adult learners and educators and seeks to improve their digital skills by providing them with tools to identify fake news and fight the spread of disinformation online" (see https://openyoureyes.info/en/about). Partners included EU Disinfo LAB and the European Digital Learning Network. One output was a database which can be filtered by country and type of resource which aimed to be "a collection of useful tools and initiatives to learn about online disinformation" (it says it will be updated, but it wasn't clear whether that was happening) and a multi-module handbook for adult educators which focuses on teaching adult educators to develop media literacy. From a very superficial evaluation it seemed to me that the American Library Association materials were more immediately useful for librarians, but the material here is also worth investigating, giving a different set of activities and also having a more international scope.
