Learning Outcomes
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 and disinformation in the digital space,
- be able to identify and describe media manipulations within their own everyday lives.
These core competencies are essential for confidently addressing the societal challenges of artificial intelligence and digital media and for actively shaping them. They also strengthen resilience to manipulation and help protect the foundations of a functioning democracy.
