Educational Trips

In December 2018, 10 students visited Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington DC to explore disinformation’s impact on democracy and what the press can do amid the era of fake news. The initiative was undertaken by the Peace Journalism Lab, the Jean Monnet Chair in collaboration with iDeas Lab Transnational Threats Project, which assess the threat and evolution of terrorist, insurgent, and criminal networks, and examines the impact of government policy responses and produces analysis for policymakers, intelligence analysts, corporate executives, and leaders seeking to understand, prevent, and thwart transnational threats. The result was the publication of a feature article, published by CSIS with the following title: Is Disinformation Threatening Democracy? The 2019 European parliamentary elections and how news organizations can respond
