Multimedia Toolkit and Local Forums to Address Post-Election Disinformation

byФондација Метаморфозис

Metamorphosis has developed a mini-package of multimedia tools designed to identify and address disinformation and harmful narratives in the media and on social networks that fuel interethnic tensions, hate speech and polarization after elections.

The package is intended for civil society organizations, media outlets, educators, youth workers, and active citizens, and includes: two explainer videos that clearly and simply illustrate key narratives and mechanisms of disinformation; “Myth – Mechanism – Fact” one-pagers; six social media cards ready for sharing on social networks; calming post templates, designed to respond to polarizing and manipulative content; facilitator guide for working with communities and groups.

The tools are available in Macedonian and Albanian and aim to help users recognize disinformation, promote critical thinking, and support responsible and calming communication during sensitive post-election periods.

In addition to the multimedia tools, Metamorphosis organized local forums in Tetovo on January 21, in Chair on January 26, in Kumanovo on February 4, in Butel on February 10 and in Kichevo on February 12, 2026.

At these forums, around 130 participants, including young people, municipal administration representatives, educational institutions, civil society organizations and media, had the opportunity to openly discuss disinformation, hate speech and polarization in the media and on social networks after the local elections.

By combining multimedia tools with direct dialogue in communities, Metamorphosis continues to contribute to a more informed public, greater media literacy and reduced polarization in public discourse.
