In 2019, the theme for the 4th Media Week in Bridge 21 was ‘Disinformation and Fake News’. Over the course of four days, 25 TY students from different schools explored the many elements involved in creating, spreading and consuming fake news online. They were also provoked into looking at their own confirmation bias and had the chance to reflect on how our psychological impulses determine the way we consume and share information, especially on social media. During the learning process, participants created a website, a movie, a TV Ad and a visual poster.
