In the midst of Russia's full-scale war and the ongoing information battle, many people often find themselves caught in an emotional trap. How can we protect ourselves online and maintain media hygiene during times of conflict and crisis?
On November 13, we invite you to join a discussion with Nina Jankowicz, an internationally recognized expert in disinformation and democratization. She is also the author of “How To Lose the Information War” and “How to Be A Woman Online.” During the event, Nina and her colleagues from the Centre for Information Resilience will explore how to navigate the deluge of fake news, Russian propaganda, violent content, and online threats. This event would be particularly helpful if you are working in the fields of journalism, content creation, activism, public relations, or if you are simply interested in enhancing your media literacy and online safety skills.
📍 The deadline to register is November 13th by 10:00 AM.
Attendance and participation are free. Let us know if you’re coming by registering for the event in advance. We’ll save you a spot and keep you posted about any changes.
