Feel free to tweet about DisruptiveFridays by disruptberlin - streaming weekly on disruptionlab. When we named our organisation "Disruption Network Lab" we would have never imagined that disruption would turn out the way we experienced it during the COVID pandemic. In the course of the past years we have invited people that disrupt and challenge closed systems from within.
In a moment in which we experieced a deep closure, Disruptive Fridays became an opportunity to foster even more critical thinking. These live conversations address topics related to art, hacktivism, whistleblowing, social justice and collective care in times of corona.
The series started in April and developed regularly throughout the following months.. In the programme series Facing Disinformation: Media Diversity from Georgia to Germany the Disruption Network Lab cooperates with the Georgian non-profit organization Regional Democratic Hub โ Caucasus on encouraging and supporting media pluralism in Georgia, connecting experts such as journalists of traditional and non-traditional media, lawyers and researchers with professionals in Germany through online formats, including specialised online training courses and online conference sessions.
Working with experts on disinformation and fake news in Georgia and Germany, the project offers important insights on how to face disinformation in social media and beyond. The course explores in depth where disinformation comes from; how it spreads, who or what is behind it, and some effective strategies that be used to face disinformation down.
