Practical workshop: Information & disinformaion
2 Heures
The advent of the internet, social networks and streaming media have completely changed the portrait of information. Never has the world suffered from such bulimia. In this jungle where judicious, dubious, or even dangerous information rubs shoulders, it is now difficult to navigate.
In this era of social and ecological awareness, companies, organizations, and individuals have a weapon of mass destruction: disinformation-propaganda. This workshop takes stock of the pernicious technique of “greenwashing”. Concrete cases of this strategy demonstrate that organizations never hesitate to “misinform”, by falsely associating a product with a social or environmental vision.
As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will bring his decades-long expertise and social commitment to participants.
Defending people and the planet while enjoying a strong portfolio is now a reality. This workshop, taught by a facilitator who is not specialized in finance but strongly socially engaged, will awaken you to the real impacts of your portfolio: encouraging good organizations and abandoning bad ones.
