Tomorrow, Friday, December 3, Project CO.ME.SE (COde&FraME for Self-Empowerment) developed with ENI, will hold a second fact-checking lab with experts from the Agenzia giornalistica Italia (AGI) news agency. The objective is to educate a new generation of changemakers and debunkers. The session will be held on the Microsoft Teams Platform.

The interactive webinars will address fact-checking techniques applied to scientific and technological news with a focus on energy. The workshops will be followed by team challenges to test the ability of participants to verify and falsify information on the energy transition. The student teams, in digital rooms, will have an allotted amount of time to evaluate the nature of the information (sources, consumption, etc.) and motivate their answers and sources. A jury of experts will evaluate the answers and establish the winners. The challenge may also include a further test: an informative presentation (in simple, but not banal language) on a complex technical concept.
