Lolyne, Thanks for this information. I believe this is the second that have come across on the list, the other was probably last year and I had raised an issue on the segregation that the training was putting up. The issue of Fake News is a phenomenon that applies to all ages especially since Social Media hit. More elderly people are being affected by fake news and keep circulating them via Social media. I would recommend that the training be opened to people of all ages. THK On Fri, Oct 9, 2020 at 2:34 PM Lolyne Ongeri via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Dear listers,

I hope this email finds you well.

We are opening applications for the 2020 Digital Literacy and Fake News Virtual Training, for the month of October.

The training aims at creating awareness and stimulating conversations targeting the youth on governance issues such as anti-corruption, accountability, elections, fake news, digital rights and media freedoms.

The training will also explore the use of digital communication platforms to bring together and enhance conversation among the Kenyans, especially on democratic and accountable governance.
