Fake News, Real Consequences: Tackling Information Disorder

Fake news, real consequences: Tackling information disorder

During the session, young people will:

• Look at the amount of information they encounter every day and better understand how the brain responds to processing this information
• Learn the differences between misinformation, disinformation and mal-information
• Explore a case study of how disinformation can spread online, and the real world consequences of this
• Use the Government SHARE framework and their critical thinking skills to decide on the reliability of social media posts
