In times of crisis, the ability to seek out reliable information is invaluable. Quality information gives rise to quality decision-making.
This webinar presents techniques and strategies for navigating the varied information landscape – particularly the Internet – securely and with a critical spirit, by-passing misleading and false information. The ability to seek out reliable information is a skill that can be bolstered through practice. These tools for digital reinforcement allow anyone and everyone to negotiate the varied information landscape more effectively, and thereby take better decisions.
A realization of our own biases and limits, an understanding of complex systems and interrelationships, the purposes for which information is shared, measured and detailed sources, a healthy skepticism, the ability to draw limits, and self-control all form part of the philosophy of information and proposed practical toolkit.
The webinar is addressed to the general public, aged 18-50.
Through the online seminar platform.
