The event entitled “Fighting MisInformation: Joint actions by and for young people in Cyprus” will be held on Sunday, November 28, 2021 at the Cyprus University of Technology from 10:00 until 15:00. It is open to the public and targets primarily all students aged 12 and above, teenagers and adult learners, youth workers, youth organisations, journalists, and various educational stakeholders including teachers and parents.

The participants will actively take part in workshops and discussions, will be informed about the lessons learnt and celebrate the achievements of the “Antibodies in Misinformation” and “Co-creating Media Literate Youth” projects.
