In our garden, you can meet many organizations from our house and network, including:

"Trust-O-Mat: A Digital Tool Against Misinformation" by Codetekt
The Trust-O-Mat is a digital tool designed to promote news literacy – an interactive application that helps people recognize misinformation. The tool is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their media literacy and offers an easy and playful introduction to handling questionable information.
Based on the trust-checking approach, Codetekt developed this tool to empower as many people as possible to independently assess the trustworthiness of news.

The application guides users through concrete examples of (dis)information and encourages them to evaluate it based on five central criteria: source, content, quotes, images/videos, and the medium. Rather than providing binary truth assessments, the tool focuses on reflecting on trustworthiness. A gallery walk with explanatory posters complements the digital offering and makes the evaluation criteria visually accessible. Topics such as source verification and critical media consumption are also covered.

"Interactive Booth" by DONAUwelle
How does participatory neighborhood journalism work? How do you start your own local newspaper? The Donauwelle team provides insights into their work, and you can even design your own front page on-site.

"What If? – Working with Futures as a Political Practice" by Superrr Lab
The Publix residents from Superrr Lab are a feminist initiative working on digital policy topics. At their interactive SUPERRR booth, they playfully and imaginatively combine value-based work, digital policy, and futures thinking. How does it work? Spin the What-If Futures Wheel, try out the Political Imagination Toolkit, and discover how fairer futures can be actively co-created.

Engage in a conversation with the Superrr team about why digital policy is always also social policy – and how we can open up new perspectives together.

"Welcome to the Digital Detox Bar" by Tactical Tech
Here you’ll find the drinks that empower us to take back control over our relationship with technology! The Data Detox Bar offers holistic solutions: from adjusting phone settings, strengthening passwords, recognizing clickbait, and managing screen time to engaging consciously with artificial intelligence and understanding its impact.
The Data Detox Bar is an interactive experience consisting of take-away cards with detox “cocktails” that provide practical tips on data protection, digital security, and online well-being. Visitors can take these cocktail cards with them and apply the tips at home, at work, or in everyday life.

"Your Media Moment: Discover What Shapes Your Worldview" by Witten.Lab
“Your Media Moment” is an interactive offering by Witten/Herdecke University – a playful journey through your own media world. Developed by the creators of the interdisciplinary seminar “Understanding Media,” students and lecturers bring their three years of experience in media education to the booth.
The offering is open to anyone curious about their relationship with media and invites visitors to explore their media habits in a fresh and engaging way.

Visitors can look forward to a variety of hands-on stations: a quiz reveals interesting facts about the media landscape and misinformation, while a creative photo activity with personalized whiteboards captures each individual’s “media moment.” A memory game with surprisingly ambiguous terms brings the effects of filter bubbles to life. Topics such as media ownership and the credibility of news are also explored.
