Disrupt Disinformation – Let’s Change the Story 

The EIS has for some time been concerned with a rise in anti-equality and prejudicial narratives within society, and educational establishments. These harmful stories have real life impacts on our members, our learners, and our wider communities.

‘Disrupt Disinformation – Let’s Change the Story’ is the EIS’s new project to support members to address disinformation and prejudice, and promote equality, diversity and inclusion through effective social dialogue and strategic communication that fosters critical thinking and encourages political literacy.  

 

Let's change the story, together
