#VerificaConMaldita: we are hosting a Masterclass on November 18 together with Twitter and Pantallas Amigas to promote critical thinking and fight disinformation

This MasterClass is organized with the support of Twitter Spain and Pantallas Amigas, an initiative that promotes the safe and healthy use of ICT (information and communication technologies) and encourages responsible digital citizenship among children and teenagers. Education is a key element in the effort to promote healthier digital behavior and to create a better and safer online environment. Many of the challenges we face as a society, politically and culturally, are affected by the way we receive and perceive information. Today, more than ever, it is important to equip young students to become informed citizens while providing them with the skills and tools they need to navigate the internet in an increasingly complex and noisy online environment.

On Wednesday, November 18, starting at 7:00 p.m., we will be live on Twitter with the following program:
