Emperor-Maximilian-Prize 2021: Facts against myths

he Emperor-Maximilian-Prize of the Government of Tyrol and the City of Innsbruck is awarded to projects and initiatives that embody the European unification process as outstanding examples of joint and sustainable endeavour. On 14 October 2021, the prize was awarded during a ceremony held in Innsbruck to the project ‘#EuropagegenCovid19 /#EUmythbusters.

Facts and humour against Fake News

The aim of the winning project is to provide fact-based, interdisciplinary education around myths and fake news about the European Union and the coronavirus through online events such as workshops, podcasts and discussions. Misinformation and conspiracy theories are exposed and debunked – also with humour. With the video format ‘Make Europa Gscheit Again’ (M.E.G.A.), the podcast series ‘Europa gefühlsecht – Corona Spezial’ or the online discussion round #Ferngespräch, young people in particular can obtain information and become active themselves in a low-threshold manner. The projects take place regionally, trans-regionally and across borders and promote a positive, European sense of community.
