Yet efforts to address it inevitably raise ethical, political, and communication questions, including the risk of generating unintended consequences.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop brings together ethical thinkers and practitioners to reflect on concerns that often remain implicit in our everyday practices and policies of disinformation mitigation. By convening researchers, practitioners, educators, journalists, and policy makers, the event aims to foster critical dialogue and to identify practices that balance effectiveness with ethical responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop welcomes educators, policy makers, media professionals, disinformation analysts and researchers, and other stakeholders involved in the mitigation of disinformation, especially in Luxembourg and Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop is an initiative of EDMO BELUX 2.0, a multidisciplinary hub that brings together academics, fact-checkers, disinformation analysts, and media literacy organizations to monitor, analyse and contribute to the mitigation of disinformation in Belgium and Luxembourg (<a href=\"https:\/\/belux.edmo.eu\/lb\/\">https:\/\/belux.edmo.eu<\/a>). EDMO BELUX 2.0 is one of the 15 national or regional hubs being coordinated by EDMO.eu, the European Digital Media Observatory (<a href=\"https:\/\/edmo.eu\">https:\/\/edmo.eu<\/a>).
