After completing the training you will learn how to build information or advocacy campaigns based on positive narratives. In a friendly and secure environment, activists and people with different backgrounds in civil society initiatives will be able to share ideas, experiences and good practices in building trust and sustainability in society through messages that acts as immunization or prevention against misinformation, not just being reactive when fighting misinformation.
