YLAI for Integrity: Anti-Corruption & Pro-Democracy

Anti-Corruption & Pro-Democracy

No person or entity is beyond the reach of corruption and disinformation. Countering corruption and stopping disinformation levels the playing field and promotes transparent and fair business practices and good governance. This ensures that all people, especially members of marginalized communities, have access to the information needed as well as the necessary tools to identify and stop corruption and disinformation in its tracks, develop transparent business practices, and pursue civic engagement opportunities.

When global communities work together to promote transparency and protect the quality of and access to information disseminated, we protect climate resiliency, support inclusive democracies, create gainful employment prospects, and promote equity! If you are committed to being pro-democracy and anti-corruption, get started by sharing your experience and completing the Advancing Democracy Survey today!

Understanding and Countering Disinformation Online Course

An examination of how disinformation is used to manipulate populations in adverse ways, to attack basic freedoms and human rights, and to limit the ability of citizens to engage in legitimate discourse with each other and their governments by creating fear and distrust. The course will look at the destructive effects of disinformation on communities and across international borders and will outline some of the most well-known tactics of disinformation actors. Finally, we will look at ways that individuals and organizations can work to counter the growing and ever-changing scourge of disinformation.

 

In this course, examine how disinformation is used to manipulate populations in adverse ways, attack basic freedoms and human rights, and limit the ability of citizens to engage in legitimate discourse with each other and their governments by creating fear and distrust.
