Ready for the Flood

Workshop

Learn about disinformation by designing a disinfo campaign yourself. Once you understand how it works, you can defend yourself better.

In Ready for the Flood you step into the shoes of a malicious saboteur. Using the red-teaming method, you design your own disinformation campaign around a controversial topic, with the help of the Disinfo Red Team Scenario Canvas. You think about goal, target audience, channels and technique, from data scraping and micro-targeting to deepfakes, bots and memes. By thinking like an attacker, you see where your own organisation or council is vulnerable.

What you learn

  • How a modern disinformation campaign is built, from reconnaissance to distribution.
  • Which technology is deployed, and which vulnerabilities it exploits.
  • What this means for your own practice, and how to boost your resilience.

For councils, civil-society organisations, (science) communication professionals and anyone responsible for a healthy public debate. We adapt the workshop to your audience.

Part of our local resilience approach.
