A webinar on 3 December organised by the World Council of Churches and World Association for Christian Communication will explore "Religion and Disinformation: How to be a trusted source.”

The 90-minute event is a followup to a 2023 webinar on the realities of misinformation and disinformation, and how religious communities have been both involved in their spread and have worked to combat them. 

 This session will focus on case studies and tools to help faith communities and individuals be more effective in preventing and mitigating the spread of misinformation and disinformation. The case studies will focus on the African context, but will be applicable to other regions.

The webinar, which is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, will be conducted in English; French interpretation will also be provided.
