Through this particularly vivid and playful mediation of deception and manipulation through magic and the transfer to disinformation in the digital space, the participants are empowered to:

  • recognise cognitive mechanisms of manipulation and deception,
  • question emotionalised, manipulative content,
  • sensitise themselves to the manipulative nature of conspiracy-driven narratives in the digital space,
  • be able to identify and describe media manipulations within their own everyday lives.

These core competencies are essential for experiencing the digital transformation with confidence and actively shaping it. They enhance resilience against manipulation and contribute to safeguarding the foundations of a functioning democracy.
