Empowering youth to think critically, spot misinformation, and verify facts in a digital-first world.
In today’s fast-moving information ecosystem, it is vital to separate truth from falsehood. This course provides the tools and strategies needed to evaluate sources, recognise bias, and identify misinformation across social media, news, and digital platforms. Participants will explore the fundamentals of media literacy, develop critical thinking skills to question what they see and hear, and practice professional fact-checking techniques used by journalists and researchers.
Learners will not only discover how to verify images, videos, and statistics but also how to communicate their findings effectively to peers and communities. By the end of the course, participants will be empowered to act as youth fact-checkers and media literacy ambassadors, promoting informed decision-making and resisting manipulation in the digital age.
