About this event:

The internet has opened up many new opportunities in communication, entertainment and knowledge. But it’s also given extremists the means to target, connect and communicate with people vulnerable to radicalisation.

At this conference, we aim to:

  • Increase your knowledge on online radicalisation and extremism: focusing on Mixed Unclear Ideologies and Far Right extremism
  • Develop key media literacy skills and strategies, including how to combat disinformation, conspiracy theories and online gaming effectively;
  • Provide you with guidance and practical skills to navigate the online world and safeguard young people from radicalisation and extremism

Attendees will benefit from an agenda of plenary presentations focused on relatable themes delivered by leading experts and media literacy practitioners. The programme will showcase many examples of best practices and ample opportunities for interactive discussion and networking amongst fellow professionals and peers.
