Dans un monde où les informations circulent à une vitesse vertigineuse, comment distinguer le vrai du faux ? 🤔    Mme Anne Calteux, représentante de la Commission européenne au Luxembourg, partage son expertise sur l’impact de la désinformation et les moyens de s’en prémunir.   💡 Pourquoi c’est important ? La désinformation peut influencer nos opinions, nos choix et même nos valeurs. En tant que citoyens responsables, il est essentiel de développer un esprit critique et d’apprendre à vérifier nos sources.   🛑 Prenez le réflexe : avant de partager, vérifiez ! 📰✔️    #LutteContreLaDésinformation #UnionEuropéenne #VérifiezVosSources #JeunesseInformée #citoyensresponsables
