Participants of this session will actively test their ability to spot fake headlines and manipulated images, learn practical verification techniques such as reverse image search, source checking, and emotional language analysis, and explore real civic-tech tools that strengten transparency and accountability.

At the Truth Lab, participants can engage in short, playful exercises like the "Fact or Fake" quiz to see how easily misinformation spreads, and then receive a Truth Toolkit—a pocket-sized, take-home guide summarizing five quick factchecking methods and linking via QR code to an online collection of civic-tech resources and verification tools.
