Conspiracy theories have been part of our discourse for millennia. But on digital media they seem to have found their perfect habitat; like a virus, effortlessly adapting and evolving as they spread around the world, conspiracy theories appear to be more contagious and pervasive than ever before. In this workshop, which closes off the training events of the project, participants from Tblisi and Berlin will research and dissect numerous examples of well known and lesser known conspiracy theories from around the world to understand what makes them work, why they spread so fast, and which strategies could diminish their power.
