How do we recognize fake news and combat disinformation? Day by day, just a share away, a false information can become viral among children and young people, however, having harmful effects, both on an individual and social level.
We want to raise a generation of children and young people correctly informed about the world around them and leaders who make decisions for their future. We are thus launching a series of three webinars, dedicated to children and young people between the ages of 12 and 26, which will help you know the main forms that this phenomenon can take, as well as the tools available to identify fake news and combating disinformation.
