On October 04, 2023, the Aspen Institute Germany hosted an online workshop as part of the project “Disinformation and the Role of Social Media Influencers in Times of Crises, Conflicts, and Wars” with the topic “What to Do against Disinformation? Approaches from the Individual to the EU-Level”. Distinguished speaker Lutz Güllner, Head of the Strategic Communication Division of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provided insights into the work of the EEAS to combat dis- and misinformation.
The project brings together seventeen social media influencers and content creators from Germany, Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Latvia with other actors to discuss their role in democratic societies in times of conflict. Over the course of 2023, a selected group of influencers and content creators will exchange lessons learned, meet with academics, experts, and decision-makers, and discuss mechanisms of disinformation online and how to counter them. Participants will work together on recommendations to be presented to policymakers, social media platforms, and civil society organizations.

The project is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office. We thank the Aspen Institute Central Europe, the Aspen Institute Kyiv, and the Aspen Institute Romania for their support.
