On Monday 5/10/2026, EDMO BELUX welcomed Sabine Bosler, Catherine Delarue-Breton, Sarah Labelle and Aude Seurrat for a webinar presenting their research on critical thinking as it relates to disinformation. They argued that critical thinking, along with media and information literacy, are conceived and promoted as a remedy and ‘intellectual self defence’, instead of considering the development of a critical – and positive – approach to information, an alternative needed in the current political and media context.
