Session
Combatting disinformation is a global challenge, and effective solutions must be locally relevant. This session will explore how Wikimedia Indonesia’s anti-disinformation training program ahead of major elections was successfully adapted by Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA) in Ghana and is now being expanded across Africa. The session is split into two parts. In the first part, speakers from Wikimedia Indonesia and OFWA will share how they tailored the approach to different socio-political contexts while maintaining the program’s core objectives, and why they pursued this initiative in the first place. The second part is a workshop. Participants will have a chance to experience for themselves how the training was run, and to learn from regional experts how Wikimedians and journalists work together to combat disinformation online. Participants will also have a chance to brainstorm how they might adapt this training format to their own contexts.
