Debunked – How to Tell Fact From Fiction

This event has ended

Online, Wednesday 23rd June

Debunked is a free workshop to help people identify misleading or misrepresented information and provide some tools and skills to separate fact from fiction
Misleading information can be intentional (think fake news) or unintentional (by not following accepted conventions). In turn, we share the information we encounter on WhatsApp or Facebook, believing it to be true only to realize later that it was wrong. Let’s be honest, it has happened to most of us.

Data literacy skills are the tools we can use to correctly interpret information and recognise misleading information when we see it. In today's ever more data and visual-driven worlds, these skills are crucial. However, they are rarely taught to most of us.

In an effort to tackle this universal problem ADAPT and Trinity College are running an informative, fun, and engaging public event to help people uncover these incidents of “fake news”.

The Annual UNESCO City of Literature Lecture

Pearse Street Library

For this year's Dublin UNESCO City of Literature lecture, Prof. Chris Morash, Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing at Trinity College Dublin, will look at Sean O'Casey, one of Dublin’s most admired playwrights at the height of his fame, and some of the ways in which both the city, and the National Theatre, nurtured his remarkable talent. One hundred years ago, on February 8, 1926, Sean O’Casey’s play about the 1916 Rising, The Plough and the Stars, sparked one of the most controversial and memorable nights in the history of the Abbey Theatre, when there were protests in the theatr
