ChangingTIDE’s Media Literacy Incubator organised by the International Centre for Defence and Security (ICDS), took place on 27 August in Tartu, Estonia. The event brought together young people aged 18 to 30 in a workshop aimed at providing them with the skills to recognise and combat fake news.

This all-day event included a training on disinformation, media influence, and counter disinformation policy and practice; an introduction to media literacy and media literacy interventions, as well as a session on propaganda and information attacks.

After the event, participants will have a chance to enter the Changemakers Programme, a central innovation of the ChangingTIDE project. Changemakers, a cohort of 20 motivated young people, will undergo a structured mentorship programme resulting in the creation of awareness-raising campaigns to address disinformation.
