What is Agent C?
Agent C is a free workshop program designed to address the growing issue of online fake news and conspiracy theories, particularly on hateful and divisive narratives. The program empowers students with the skills and knowledge to challenge harmful conspiracy theories and fake news, while fostering critical thinking and encouraging stimulating conversations among peers.
Why is this important?
Research shows that exposure to online fake news and disinformation is happening at increasingly younger ages, making it more important than ever to equip students with the skills they need to navigate the digital landscape safely and critically.
What’s new?
Thanks to generous funding from Deutsche Bank, we've tailored our program specifically for students aged 12-14, addressing their unique needs and vulnerabilities. The newly updated 2-hour Agent C program is now available for Year 7 and 8 students across Australia, completely free of charge until the end of 2024!
The program offers a great mix of both media and racial literacy. We are currently taking applications from schools that are interested in participating. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with your school network, fellow principals and teachers.
