Moms - Misinformation

This workshop helps women develop skills to identify, evaluate, and respond to misinformation in today's digital environment.

Participants will learn how misinformation and disinformation spread online, how social media algorithms, AI-generated content, and deepfakes can influence what people see and believe, and how to critically assess the accuracy of information, images, videos, and online sources.

The workshop covers practical strategies for verifying content, recognizing common warning signs of manipulation, understanding the impact misinformation can have on individuals and communities, and applying simple fact-checking techniques before sharing information.
