Agence France-Presse (AFP), with the support of the Google News Initiative, is offering a self-directed course designed to address the growing challenges posed by misinformation surrounding elections worldwide.
The course has two segments. The first focuses on the period leading up to the elections, and the second addresses the challenges that arise on election day and in the weeks that follow. Upon completing each part, participants will receive a certificate.
This new training, available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, is part of the digital investigation techniques course launched by AFP in June 2022.
Registrations are open.
