Are you curious about how artificial intelligence algorithms are shaping what we see, hear and believe online?

Are you interested in connecting with peers and generate solutions to increase digital agency and address disinformation?

Join us on 11–12 November for a two-day training programme exploring media literacy in the age of AI.

The British Council and Edinburgh Futures Institute are pleased to invite you to participate in a two- day training programme to explore media literacy and generate solutions to address misinformation and disinformation.

We are inviting young people aged between 18 and 35 who are passionate about leading change to work together in interdisciplinary teams and create solutions on how disinformation can be addressed. We are aiming to bring together emerging changemakers to critically engage with the challenges and opportunities AI presents in media, public discourse, and civic life.

This event is part of British Council’s Youth Connect programme, delivered in partnership with the Edinburgh Futures Institute and Think Young.
