“Oxytocin, the Anti-Fake News Brigade” Workshop

Join the anti-fake news brigade by trying to spot misleading information on a fictional social network: Ocytocine.
According to the 2017 Media Barometer, 83 per cent of social media users in France are heavily exposed to rumours. One in three respondents believes that some fake news is true. Between believing everything and doubting everything, where should you set your threshold of trust when getting your news from social media?
To find out, come and play on XX XXXXX 20XX, from 2 pm to 4 pm, with “Ocytocine”, the game that awakens critical thinking, devised by Le Dôme with the support of the Calvados Department. What strategy will you adopt to become the most influential person on the network?
