Identifying Misinformation & Disinformation, & Challenging Damaging Narratives - Ā£5 self-study, Ā£15 facilitated (remote)
As global narratives skew away from objective truths backed up by reliable sources to "black marketing", disinformation, misinformation, and emotion-driven arguments presented as facts, and as social media sites and governments step away from ensuring veracity in publicly consumed media, being your own fact-checker is resilient against political positioning swings, climate change, economic turbulence, and inflation! Whether you want a simple, straightforward overview of the difference between types of deceptive content, how to identify and distinguish them, and how to challenge them, or you'd like a dynamic, immersive experience, 1:1 or in small groups (depending on attendance levels), The Productive Pessimist is here for you. Because we believe it's all only going to get worse - but we can show you how to be better.
Ideal for schools, colleges, public sector workplaces, media teams, social enterprises, and individuals.
