Workshop: Mission: Internet Without Trolls.
Do you know how to detect fake news and hate speech? Help us to neutralise them!
What are you proposing?
-
Learning to detect fake news about cultural diversity and false rumours in our everyday lives and on social media
-
Discussing how these fake news items lead to discriminatory speech among certain groups and sectors
-
Understanding how the creation of rumours, stereotypes and prejudices work, which lead to discrimination and hate
-
Learning to formulate alternative narratives to discriminatory arguments
-
Discovering how, throughout history and in the present day, fake news has been used for reasons of self-interest and the consequences that this has had.
Who is it for?
The workshop is aimed at 5th and 6th year primary school students aged 10 to 12. It may be offered to students from other courses if the content is adapted to the specific needs of each educational centre or youth centre.
How will you do that?
The workshop’s methodology is in-person, and is structured around MIST, a video game that consists of detecting messages which contain hate speech and discriminatory content, making it possible to reflect on and discuss these problems, as well as proposing alternative narratives.
How long is it?
1.5 hours
Who runs it?
