Let us show you how to sort fact from fiction

Our fact-checking and verification workshops equip participants with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills to stop the spread of false information. We show you how to sort fact from fiction – from spotting false information and verifying the origin of images and videos shared on social media, to finding accurate data online.

We have trained more than 10,000 individuals from media organisations, nonprofits, government organisations, the corporate sector and the general public across Africa. All our workshops are developed and presented by senior Africa Check trainers and editors.
