Leading media literacy researchers from the US and UK will come together in London with teachers, librarians, journalists, digital media producers and young people to tackle disinformation with media literacy. 

At the London event, these key stakeholders in this crucial societal issue will listen to young people and share perspectives, working to a collective aim – a practical strategy for harnessing media literacy to develop young people’s resilience to ‘fake news’, with a focus on case studies from both the UK and the US. 

A series of interactive workshops will culminate in the research team capturing the raw material for an online, open access toolkit for media literacy resilience.
