TechCamp on Increasing Digital Literacy

Embassy Bratislava seeks a partner organization to host a TechCamp on Increasing Digital Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills. This project will involve organizing a two-day workshop focused on providing journalists, civil society activists, and tech experts from Visegrad 4 (V4) countries with resources and ideas to use digital media combat the spread of disinformation and conspiracy theories filtering into the region. Through TechCamp, the Embassy will encourage participants to work together to develop creative ideas to identify, monitor and counter disinformation, to promote objective media reporting on current events, and to encourage critical thinking among citizens.
