Recognizing Fake News and Questioning Truth Creatively
How do false reports originate, why do they spread so quickly, and how can they be recognized in everyday life? The workshop Creative Engagement with Truth – Recognizing Fake News invites you to the Interim of the Central Library Cologne on October 15, 2026. The event is part of the Digital Workshop series and provides practical guidance on dealing with disinformation.
Together on a Quest for Clues
Deliberately spread false reports have existed long before the internet. Therefore, the workshop not only focuses on current digital media but also on how information circulates and how stories change. Participants will embark on a quest for clues together, examining typical ways in which misleading content is created and shared.
Practical Tips for Digital Everyday Life
The focus is on easily applicable strategies that allow for better assessment of dubious news. The introduction provides basic knowledge about fake news and disinformation. Subsequently, tips will be gathered to help critically examine sources, claims, and representations. This creates a concrete toolkit for greater digital maturity and information literacy.
