Cultural Values and Online Misinformation

This workshop explores the intersection of culture and misinformation, examining how cultural values shape the spread, perception, and impact of false information. Participants will analyze sources and channels of dissemination across different societies to inform a taxonomy of cultural values.

The sessions will highlight both challenges and region-specific tools for combating misinformation, including fact-checking and literacy campaigns. Experts will present outcomes of the DCO “Online Content Integrity Program”, including DCO Campaign to combat online misinformation, and gather feedback to refine future actions. The workshop aims to co-develop a culturally sensitive framework for countering misinformation and safeguarding digital ecosystem.
