Deadline: July 8, 2026
Are you curious about how media shapes our opinions and everyday decisions? Would you like to explore, in an international setting, how misinformation, conspiracy theories, and manipulation emerge, spread, and persist – and learn how to recognise and challenge them more effectively? Apply for the Debunker Summer School of Media Literacy 2026.
The Debunker Summer School of Media Literacy Lab is where you will explore these topics through interactive workshops, educational games, and hands-on activities. Together, they will strengthen critical thinking skills, learn how to navigate today’s information landscape, and discover practical tools for becoming more informed and active citizens.
