Lycée Langevin-Wallon Students Train to Detect Online Misinformation

At Lycée Langevin-Wallon in Champigny-Sur-Marne of France, Year 11 students participated in a two-hour open-source intelligence workshop.

During the session, they analyzed photos, websites, and videos to identify falsified or misleading content. In doing so, students learned to verify sources and cross-check information effectively.

Furthermore, organizers emphasized the importance of recognizing that not all digital information is reliable, highlighting the need for media literacy that goes beyond basic technology use. Consequently, the workshop aimed to develop critical thinking and media literacy skills, specifically addressing the challenges posed by misinformation on social media platforms.
