QYourself
Digital democracy and critical thinking – Qyourself Open Day
In the age of social media, fake news, and instant communication, disinformation is no longer an exception: it’s a strategy, used to influence opinions, create confusion, and polarize society. So, how much does this strategy influence us—even when we don’t realize it? The Qyourself Open Day is a moment open to everyone, designed to reflect together on the role of disinformation in our daily lives and on the urgent need to build both personal and collective Media Education that can make us more aware, critical, and free. Join us for free on 29 July starting at 6 p.m. at EPYC – European Palermo Youth Center.
