Wed 4Mar2026

Workshop on democracy education

During the morning, both target groups will work in separate sections:

Section for students: Workshop ‘Algorithmised public sphere and fake news: media literacy for democratic practice’ – effects of digital public spheres on opinion formation and recognising disinformation, fake news and SLOP.

 

Section for school pupils: Workshop ‘Experiencing the right of veto in practice’ – strengthening democratic attitudes (equality, participation, responsibility) and practical application of the right of veto as a means of protecting one's own boundaries.

In the afternoon, there will be a joint exchange format in which both groups will bring together their results and discuss key findings.

Places are limited, so we recommend registering early. (Registration deadline: 28 February 2026)

Thanks to funding from the Interreg South Baltic Programme, participation is free of charge (including lunch).

If you have any questions, please contact Svetlana Saidensal (svetlana.saidensal@hs-wismar.de).

The event is organised by the European Project Centre of the Wismar Business School in cooperation with Wismar University of Applied Sciences as part of the D-EFFECT project.
