Disinformation and the digital divide in older LGTBIQ+ people

Do you know how to recognise hoaxes, hate speech, fake news or scams? 

informa[TE] is an initiative aimed at equipping older LGTBIQ+ people with tools and educational resources to identify hate speech, hoaxes, scams and fake news.

Through talks, workshops and digital mentoring, we will learn how disinformation works today, with special attention to older people and the LGTBIQ+ community.

Join this initiative and participate in the talks and activities we carry out in collaboration with Dow.
