Diana Poudel's public lecture „Empowering communities to foster media literacy and combat disinformation“

On 24 April, from 12:15 to 13:45, Diana Poudel, an institute's junior research fellow in information resilience, will give a public lecture „Empowering communities to foster media literacy and combat disinformation”, in Room 206 at Lossi 36.

In a situation where information disorders are spreading faster than the number of educators in media and digital literacy, it is important to find new ways to quickly deliver necessary knowledge and skills to people. One option is to collaborate with existing networks and communities to reach a broader audience through their support.

Diana Poudel provides an overview of various theories that could assist in planning such collaboration and shares her experiences of reaching new audiences through various civic initiatives and networks.

Diana Poudel is a doctoral student at the Institute of Social Studies (University of Tartu), Junior Research Fellow in information resilience and member of the Naiskodukaitse (Women`s Voluntary Defence Organization).
