• Abstract:

  The objective of this text is to present a study in progress on some strategies planned within the scope of ``Universidade Federal de Uberlândia``, which, in partnership with the Universidade Federal Fluminense and ``Rede Conecta`` to combat Disinformation, develops a Pre-bunking programmatic scheme. Based on the state of the art already available on the subject, the study gives priority to a focus that combines academic and professional interventions, in the effort to produce instructional material whose purpose is to mitigate the perverse effects of false or misleading content on young people, especially high school students in the public education system. In addition to the theoretical aspects that specifically address “vaccine” research and materials to prevent these contents, there is a series of interventionist actions underway, carried out in university extension form, some of which are briefly described in this paper.
