About this webinar
Myth busting and debunking are some of the most common strategies used to counter mis/disinformation. However, research shows that these approaches can often backfire by amplifying false narratives and increasing division.
Join Dr Moira Nicolson for an overview of the Cabinet Office Behavioural Science team's toolkit for countering mis/disinformation. The toolkit provides a range of strategies for managing mis/disinformation depending on the nature of the threat posed. Examples will be provided throughout so that it is easy to understand how the approach could be applied to sustainable travel.
