Misinformation isn’t just a buzzword for daytime TV debates; it’s a weapon with real power that can distort reality, spread confusion and erode trust in democracy. From deepfake videos twisting elections to bot armies flooding social media with lies, the manipulation of truth is everywhere.

Join us across three events at the Pleasance Theatre, London where we’ll help you cut through the noise, build resilience and connect with community. Are you ready for change?
