In November 2020 as part of Saolta with Development Perspectives and Aontas, I was lucky to be given the opportunity to facilitate
a workshop Entitled: Development Education: tackling misinformation and
conspiracies during a pandemic. The workshop addressed the current state of the
seeming growth in misinformation and conspiracies currently facing many
societies, how the issue has been exacerbated during Covid 19, the effects that
the apparent growth in misinformation and conspiracies has had, and what role
development education can play, in particular in the adult and community
education space, in tackling the issue.
