Reading between the lines: information literacy in the 21st century

We are bombarded by information that competes for our attention or money. Our own information is used to channel this to us in ways that we might not want. Loss of control over our own information can lead to believe in false narratives that harm other people, and ourselves. Young people need tools to control their own information and to separate fact from fiction. This session asks: how can we nurture responsible and ethical consumers of information in the digital age?
