We’ll start with a 15-minute overview of work we’ve done in conflict-affected areas of the Ukraine, which focused on building resilience to misinformation through thoughtful exposure to debunking and fact-checking. We’re particularly interested in strategies that don’t tell people which media to consume, but rather teach how to watch, read, or listen in order to avoid manipulation toward hatred.
The remaining 45 minutes will focus on session participants selecting a few countries they want to hone in on
The state of disinformation and propaganda, externally and internally
At-risk issues and topics
Manipulation tactics
“Personas” that represent common media and information consumption patterns
“Demand-side” media literacy approaches that might fit each audience and context — especially those that can be embedded into daily life
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
An emerging map of countries that face influx of disinformation
A better understanding of how to maximize and coordinate supply- and demand-side solutions for various populations being targeted by propaganda and fake news
Advancing an evolving toolkit of potential practical solutions that not only “preach to the choir” but have the potential to reach and change behaviors among of typically reluctant audiences
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
Facilitation supplies such as markers, flipchart papers, sticky notes.
Projector.
1 laptop (we can provide if needed).
