We'll have the privilege to showcase https://tutki.tech at the Agora for Journalism in Tours, France, on 9 April. During our 90 minutes-workshop (which we built in partnership with https://Samsa.fr), participants will be immersed in a #disinformation campaign spread on simulated social media #platforms and mailboxes.

If you are interested in disinformation campaigns, this is a great chance to explore the topic in a fun way!

We will also run another session in Tours on April 9th. See you there! 🔗 https://journalisme.com/programmation/samsa-checkfirst-2026/
