Meeting on the topic - The European Union’s Role in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda

30 May 2025

A meeting was held at Caucasus University, initiated by the Young European Ambassadors (YEA), under the theme: "The European Union’s Role in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda."

 

The session was led by invited speaker Nino Dolidze, a prominent figure in Georgia’s civil society sector and former Executive Director of ISFED, who has spent years advocating for access to reliable information and transparency in democratic processes.

 

During the meeting, participants discussed:

 

  • The deep-rooted threats that disinformation poses to democratic development;
  • EU policies and initiatives aimed at supporting media freedom, fact-checking, and strengthening critical thinking.

 

Students also engaged in an interactive activity – "Fact or Fake?" – where they were challenged to identify true or false news headlines. The exercise added a dynamic and participatory element to the event.
