On September 21, 2024, Ziyo Forum (International Foundation for the Development of Science and Education) organized a free training on “Media Literacy within the Framework of Human Rights” for 33 selected students. The training, led by Turanov Diyorbek Abdullayevich, aimed to equip participants with essential knowledge about human rights, the legal consequences of spreading false information, and techniques for fact-checking and exposing misinformation.
The event covered:
- The significance of human rights and common problematic situations.
- Legal consequences of sharing misinformation on social media.
