The Cities Network for Integration and ActionAid Hellas in collaboration with DCN Global organized, on November 30, 2021, a workshop on media literacy and social networking for 20 municipal employees in social services and programs.
In order to empower professionals working with vulnerable groups, including refugees and migrants, in the services structures and programs of the member cities of the Cities Network for Integration, the workshop introduced the participants to basic concepts regarding fake news and misinformation, brought them in contact with methods of detecting fake news, misinformation and hate speech and provided tools for dealing with the above phenomena and the development of positive messages regarding refugees and migrants.
* The event is part of the Faces of Migration program, in which ActionAid is an organization – partner for Greece. The program is implemented together with organizations from 6 Member States of the European Union. Its aim is to contribute to the promotion, adoption and implementation of the 17 Objectives for Sustainable Development by local and national policy makers, through institutional pressure from citizens.
