This action is about empowering social media users in Libya by building their capacities to be able to recognise and deal with fake news as well as fight hate speeches. The aim is to assist participants to look at visual media with a critical mindset and use the strategies that journalists employ to fact-check and verify the information.

This activity is divided into two parts: a training programme and dialogue session.

Key Activities:
  • Conducting a four-day training addressed to 20 young participants on different topics such as disinformation, hate speech, critical thinking tools, available tools to validate information, fact-checking methods, and verification of information.
  • Hosting a dialogue session with four panelists to discuss and announce the results of the case studies with the trainees.
