In Sweden, March 13 has in several years marked Källkritikens Dag – or Source Criticism Day in English. The tradition was established by Viralgranskaren, which was a precursor to NORDIS. In the Nordic countries, source criticism is an important part of school education, and aims to highlight the importance of being critical of information and learning how to navigate an ever-changing information landscape. Source criticism is basically about questioning the information one is presented with: Where does the information come from? Who is the sender? What is the purpose of sharing the information?
In keeping with tradition, Source Criticism Day features a variety of events across the Nordic countries. NORDIS has gathered some of them in this article, hosted by both NORDIS partners and others.
