Description:

The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to plan, develop, design, and implement an interactive traveling exhibit on disinformation, media literacy, and deepfake technologies aimed at youth audiences with a supplemental programming plan (workshops, lectures, activities, etc.), and a companion online experience.

The proposed traveling exhibition will support U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur’s messaging on media literacy, misinformation, and disinformation, demonstrate the capability of image and video manipulation, discuss the virality of disinformation on social media and messaging apps, and provide audiences with the knowledge and tools to verify the authenticity of the information they are consuming.

The exhibit should also highlight initiatives and policies by U.S.-based entities that are designed to enhance media literacy and counter disinformation. The campaign will be executed under American Corners branding and its intended audiences include middle school, high school, and university students, as well as the general public.

The proposed traveling exhibit is to be hosted in (at minimum) six locations across Malaysia, including at the five American Corners in Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur and Sarawak, as well as at a third-party venue in Sabah.
