#VerifyWithMaldita: We're hosting a masterclass on november 18th together with Twitter and Pantallas Amigas to educate on critical thinking and fight against disinformation

Next Wednesday, November 18th, at 7:00 pm, Clara Jiménez Cruz and Laura del Río from Maldita.es, along with Jorge Flores from PantallasAmigas, will be live on Twitter from our account, @maldita_Es, giving a MasterClass on Fighting Hoaxes and Promoting Critical Thinking. You can also ask your questions using the hashtag #VerifyWithMaldita.

This MasterClass is organized with the support of Twitter Spain and with Pantallas Amigas, an initiative for the safe and healthy use of ICT (new information and communication technology) and the promotion of responsible digital citizenship among children and adolescents. Education is a key element in the effort to promote healthier digital behavior and create a better and safer online environment. Many of the challenges we face as a society, politically and culturally, are affected by the way we receive and perceive information. Today, it is more important than ever to empower young students to become informed citizens while equipping them with the necessary skills and tools to navigate an increasingly complex and noisy online environment.

On Wednesday, November 18th, starting at 7:00 pm, we will be live on Twitter with the following program:
