Humbug at the Ukraina! film festival
How can you recognize manipulation? How do you tell fact from opinion – and truth from falsehood? During the Humbug fact-checking workshop, participants will learn practical tools used by fact-checkers and discover how to avoid falling into the traps of disinformation.
The workshop will be led by Marta Glanc from the Demagog Association – analyst, journalist, and media educator who verifies information circulating in the public space on a daily basis.
The event is part of the HUMBUG educational programme by the Mieroszewski Centre, organised in cooperation with Demagog. Until now, Humbug workshops were held for teachers across Poland – this time, for the first time, Warsaw residents can join an open edition.
Participation is free of charge, registration required via this form. Register here. Limited spots available (20–30 participants). Duration: approx. 2 hours.
During the workshop, participants will:
- learn to identify various types of false information – from fake news to media manipulation,
- practice using fact-checking tools,
- understand how to recognize reliable sources,
- explore strategies for responding to disinformation – both online and offline,
- see real examples of disinformation campaigns around the war in Ukraine and the refugee crisis.
The workshop is interactive – participants will analyse examples, practice recognising manipulation, and learn how to protect themselves and others from false narratives.
Don’t be a passive recipient of information – learn how to verify it! Join us on November 8 during the Ukraina! Film Festival and see how fact-checkers work behind the scenes.
