A workshop to design a training program for fellows on fact-checking, countering hate speech, and using media tools.
The workshop included journalists, researchers, and others to map out the AFF program. They identified key areas like fighting disinformation and online abuse and contributed to a preliminary curriculum framework with learning goals and assessment ideas.
#defyhatenow in Ethiopia seeks to support those voices acting against the conflict to go ‘viral’ within and outside the country – bringing the diaspora into the online peace building framework, bridging gaps of knowledge and awareness of social media mechanisms between those with access to technology and those without.
