Workshop
Fake News: How to Combat a Plague of Lies
Labyrinths of (Dis)information, February 21-28, 2026. Video games allow us to simulate a situation and actively participate in it. We invite you to play the video game Plague Inc. – a plague simulator – as a family and create a network of fake news by designing strategies to spread it. Then, as a group, we will evaluate which resources have been most effective. The second part of the workshop will be dedicated to combating fake news, using game materials created specifically for the activity and applying what we have learned through play.
During the activity, we will include moments of reflection and discussion to share the conclusions we have drawn from the game and relate them to social data, real events, and personal experiences.
Approximate duration of the activity: 2 hours
Recommended for ages 11 and up.
