Overview
About the course
Young people are particularly feeling the impacts of mis and dis-information−it makes conversations difficult at the dinner table, it can divide friendships, it can stir up instances of hate speech or bullying at school, it can impact the policies that are handed down to the next generations. But where does viral disinformation come from, exactly? How does the spread of mis and disinformation actually work? And what can be done to stop it?
If you would like to get answers to these questions, apply for the Empowering Youth Ambassadors in the Fight Against Online Mis- and Disinformation course at EIUC - European Inter University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation. This training programme is specifically designed with young people in mind, and the aim is to empower youth ambassadors to be a critical part of the solution.
