The spread of online misinformation poses serious challenges to societies worldwide. There are multiple ways to fight against the spread of fake news and disinformation and serious video games are one of the developing and fascinating tools to raise awareness of the harm of disinformation and combat the malign influence online. The Digital Communication Network is designing another thematic series of events titled “Serious Games Against Disinformation” to highlight the importance of the game industry focusing on social issues. Through our partners and experts from all over the globe, we will be discussing different approaches towards the games in various geographies, as well as looking at case studies of certain games which promote digital and media literacy.
