In this age of information and misinformation, fake news spreads like wildfire and undermine the integrity of news and information. While real news is frightening, fake news keeps being a problem to worry, especially considering how easy it is for youth to be targeted and how such malicious attacks can mold their vulnerable and innocent minds. Due to this problematic the current training course has the following main objectives:

• To develop youth workers knowledge and competences in detecting fake news in social media.
