Short description of the event:

The volunteers told the students about the methods of fraud in the network, as well as about how truthful the information posted on the Internet, and how to distinguish the real news from the fake. Students got acquainted with such concepts as factoid and factchecking. At the end of the lesson with the help of smartphones, the guys tried to determine whether the publication was truthful or not. Almost all successfully coped with this task!
We very much hope that the students-journalists will become permanent partners of the Center and will help pupils and students to navigate in the network world!
