This interactive learning experience combines real-world case studies, hands-on activities, and evidence-based frameworks drawn from European contexts, empowering you to become a confident advocate for information integrity in your professional community. Whether you’re teaching apprentices, supporting vulnerable populations, or working in technical fields, this course will transform how you navigate the complex information landscape and help others do the same.
