“Is that really true? What is really true?” – A question that is becoming increasingly important in the digital space.
Between AI-generated images, viral false reports and algorithmically filtered feeds, schools are faced with a central task: providing orientation and strengthening judgment.
This workshop provides a compact, practical insight into the mechanisms of fake news, deepfakes and algorithmic distortion – and opens up initial didactic perspectives for teaching.
🎯 Focus
Raising awareness, classification and concrete impulses for dealing with digital information phenomena in schools.
💡 Content
• Understand the mechanisms of fake news and deepfakes
• Simulation of a digital network for information dissemination
• Data usage, data protection and security at a glance
• Didactic starting points for different grades
🎓 Referent
Dr. Marcus Pirron, employee at CISPA – Helmholtz Center for Information Security (Cysec Lab, St. Ingbert), specializing in innovative knowledge transfer in the field of cybersecurity.
💬 Why this is important
Digital judgment is increasingly becoming a core democratic competency. Only those who understand how information is created, distributed and algorithmically filtered can enable students to examine critically instead of sharing prematurely.
