About TaCT-FoRSED Project
Liberal and constitutional democracies in Europe are currently under massive pressure from authoritarian populism, culture wars and identity conflicts. A key issue is the erosion of trust in democratic institutions and the parallel rise in belief in conspiracy theories. The latter undermine democratic procedures as well as citizen engagement and create harmful political identities by exploiting the inherent vulnerabilities of democracies.
TaCT-FoRSED closes a scientific gap regarding the interrelation between democracy, identity formation and conspiracy theories.
Using existing research and collecting new data, the project is investigating the impact of conspiracy theories on the adoption of an anti-democratic group identity and, conversely, exploring concrete identity factors that strengthen or weaken resilience to conspiracy myths. TaCT-FoRSED will address key target groups in the educational fields and develop open educational resources that specifically promote democratic self-efficacy. The findings of the project will result in policy recommendations for political stakeholders and educators.
