Interactive Fake News exhibition for high school students continues tour

In a flood of virtual content, the Press Council has created a travelling exhibition for high school students in Serbia. Since the beginning of this year, the exhibition was seen by students in Kragujevac and Gornji Milanovac, and the next showing is planned for Kikinda.

In the opinion of Lazar Milovanović, a student of the second grade of the Gymnasium “Takovski ustanak” in Gornji Milanovac, the subject of the exhibition is very important. “In our lives, phones are present every day and in this way various information comes to us. Whether they are correct or not, it’s up to us to judge. And in the sea of all this, we must learn to recognize the truth. we have to choose the source from which we take the information,” he said.

The exhibition consists of four “totems” that stand in free space and offer students answers to the questions: why is fake news is bad even though it is fun, what is misinformation, who most often spreads fake news, what is the role in all this of influencers and celebrities.

The exhibition has so far been seen by more than 6,200 students in Nis, Loznica, Belgrade, Smederevo, Kragujevac and Gornji Milanovac. The exhibition also has its own Instagram profile.  https://www.instagram.com/laznevestiizlozba/
