In this interactive session, held within the framework of the CIVICA "Meet the European culture" webinar series, we will explore what fake news is, why it spreads, and how it affects Europe. We will look at different types of fake news, including misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda, using real-world examples from Europe, both historical and contemporary. We will also discuss how Russia has used disinformation and espionage campaigns to support populist parties and influence European politics and society. Finally, the workshop will focus on practical strategies for dealing with fake news.
By the end of this webinar, you will have:
- Understood what fake news is and why it exists
