The project "Spurenleser - Das Portal für Entschwörung und Wissen" offers cross-phenomenon multimedia information for interested parties, those affected and multipliers from Hesse (and nationwide). Users can test their knowledge of conspiracy narratives and disinformation in an interactive self-test and expand their knowledge through numerous information offerings (articles, explanatory films, podcasts, infographics, etc.). The involvement of Hessian micro-influencers and social media activities increases and contextualizes the reach of the target group. Expert interviews with representatives of different target groups ensure that content and formats are tailored to the target group.
