Goa Workshop | Identifying Fake News

DraftCraft International is a global policy research and analysis think tank. DraftCraft International is pleased to announce its quarterly programme in Goa, India against the backdrop of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI Goa 2019). During the programme, DraftCraft International, in association with DraftCraft Institutes, will conduct and host Residential Workshops and Film Screenings.

Three-Day Weekday Residential Workshops In Goa
Distinct from the run-of-the-mill and mundane classroom exercises, the Three-Day Weekday Residential Workshops will be held at exotic outdoor venues, including those of DraftCraft International's 'live projects' in Goa.

About The Workshop
Fake News is the new buzz word in media and in socio-political debates. The new phenomenon, its origin and extent are still being studied and researched upon. The legal ramifications and social repercussions are still unknown to most stakeholders. The workshop will equip you with the tools and skills to identify fake news, its source and analyse impact in India and internationally. DraftCraft International has been working in the area of identifying fake news globally. The workshop will analyse case studies from all over the world and how fake news has changed the narrative and topics of debate.
