Module 2: Public health 101 for disinformation experts - Thursday, 27 February 2025, 10:00-11:30 CET
The second module in the series takes the perspective of public health, aiming to help understand how public health is affected by disinformation, explain how public health tools and actions differ from actions taken by disinformation investigators and identify how public health approaches might benefit disinformation investigations, and vice versa, and where the two approaches exclude each other. Led by trainers in the public health policy field, the training session aims to provide guidance both for strategic communications and disinformation investigators when working on health topics and for public health professionals when working on disinformation.
