This Disinformation Forum successfully brought together over 35 participants from a wide range of stakeholders from the Community and Voluntary sectors, as well as media literacy and counter disinformation practitioner, infrastructure and policy stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Counter Disinformation Strategy (NCDS) sets out Ireland\u2019s policy response to disinformation. It outlines a series of commitments designed to promote a whole-of-society approach to building resilience against false and misleading information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among these, Commitment 4 calls for Ireland to adopt a lifelong approach to empowering all citizens with the skills and confidence to critically engage with media, recognising the need for sustained and inclusive efforts across all age groups, sectors, and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under this Commitment, at least one forum per year on \u2018Countering Disinformation through Media Literacy Collaborations\u2019 is co-hosted by Media Literacy Ireland and EDMO Ireland, the Irish hub of the EU-funded European Digital Media Observatory on countering disinformation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-2-1024x587.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of forum participants seated around a long U-shaped table\" class=\"wp-image-6961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-2-1024x587.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-2-420x241.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-2-768x440.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-2.jpg 1375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Some of the participants of the 2026 MLI EDMO Ireland Disinformation Forum<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collaboration is a key aim of the NCDS. To support that aim, this event was designed to bring together policy-makers, practitioners and grass-roots organisations to collectively explore both the impact of disinformation on the community and voluntary sector, as well as exploring how we might, collectively, use media literacy as one way of helping to build resilience to disinformation at a community level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disinformation is not a national issue, it is a challenge internationally and many approaches to countering disinformation involve international collaboration, especially at a European level, so it was very fitting that this Forum took place in Europe House, Dublin, kindly hosted by the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first part of the event focussed on a new EDMO Ireland Research Report entitled <em>Disinformation Impacts on Community Organisations.<\/em> Dr. Shane Murphy (DCU and formerly EDMO Ireland) presented the research, which highlights how disinformation undermines public participation and provides a basis for assessing media literacy needs within the community sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6963\" style=\"width:567px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-3.png 567w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-3-420x235.png 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Participants listen to Dr. Shane Murphy presenting the results of the EDMO Ireland research<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research revealed that disinformation affects these organisations through multiple interconnected pathways, each presenting distinct challenges to their functioning and effectiveness. The themes capture the range of operational impacts that organisations reported experiencing, from broader societal perceptions to direct tactical pressures and internal organisational dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Societal Distrust: Delegitimisation of the sector and its expertise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funding and Bureaucratic Pressures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct Targeting and Staff Safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8216;Baiting&#8217; Emails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal Disruption<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conclusions from the report were that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The harm is cumulative: Distrust, harassment and internal disruption compound, eroding both the sector\u2019s capacity and the public infrastructure it sustains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service users absorb the cost : When organisations are forced to retreat or self-censor, the people who rely on their services are impacted first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sector cannot defend itself alone: There are limits to how much the community and voluntary sector can achieve without support from policymakers, platforms, regulators, media and funders \u2013 and they are already stretched incredibly thin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shane was also joined for a discussion about the findings by Dr. Eileen Culloty (Associate Professor at DCU School of Communications, MLI Co-chair and EDMO Ireland Coordinator) and Colette Bennett (Policy Analyst with the National Economic and Social Council).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full research report can be accessed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/edmohub.ie\/index.php\/new-report-on-disinformation-impacts-on-the-charity-and-voluntary-sector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/edmohub.ie\/index.php\/new-report-on-disinformation-impacts-on-the-charity-and-voluntary-sector\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disinformation is complex and countering it requires a range of measures, including legislative and regulatory levers. A lot of work has taken place at both European and national level to introduce legislation and regulatory measures to help counter disinformation while at the same time protecting core rights such as freedom of expression, privacy and data rights and media freedom and pluralism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second session of the event provided an overview of counter-disinformation policies and strategies with a media literacy dimension. Stephanie Comey (Director at Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n, and MLI Co-chair<em>) <\/em>chaired the session and welcomed contributions from Seamus Hempenstall (Principal Officer in the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport), John Evans (Digital Services Commissioner for Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n), Dr. Mary Clare O\u2019Sullivan (An Coimisi\u00fan Toghch\u00e1in) and Diane Duggan (An Coimisi\u00fan Toghch\u00e1in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-4-1024x391.jpg\" alt=\"Martina Chapman, Stephanie Comey, John Evans, Seamus Hempenstall, Mary Clare O\u2019Sullivan seated at a table at the Disinformation Forum\" class=\"wp-image-6965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-4-1024x391.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-4-420x160.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-4-768x293.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Disinfo-Forum-4.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Martina Chapman, Stephanie Comey, John Evans, Seamus Hempenstall, Mary Clare O\u2019Sullivan<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus then turned from policy to practice<strong><em>. <\/em><\/strong>Everyone is vulnerable to disinformation and so work to counter it must take many different approaches. Martina Chapman (National Coordinator, MLI) invited presentations of three case studies that explored how different approaches to developing and delivering media literacy related activities helped build resilience to disinformation for different audiences and also supported other cross-cutting themes such as social cohesion, adult literacy and democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert McCulloch (Adult Literacy for Life Office, SOLAS) highlighted how the Adult Literacy for Life \u2018Let\u2019s talk about media literacy\u2019 national campaign was designed to raise awareness that literacy is more than reading and writing and includes being able to make informed decisions about the media people engage with, being able to tell what is true or not and being able to ask questions about the information available, especially online. The campaign website can be accessed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adultliteracyforlife.ie\/medialiteracy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.adultliteracyforlife.ie\/medialiteracy\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edel McGinley (Hope and Courage Collective) showed how the Hope and Courage Collective works with communities, workplaces and institutions across Ireland to strengthen democracy and build collective resilience in the face of rising far-right hate and disinformation. Through training, research and support, they help people stay grounded, resilient and connected as they push back against hate and division and create spaces where everyone can belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four step Community Crisis Response Model was outlined, which is based on: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Risk Assessment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crisis Intervention Response<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>De-escalation Strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Response Evaluation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information about the Hope and Courage Collective is available on their website: <a href=\"https:\/\/hopeandcourage.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/hopeandcourage.ie\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorraine O\u2019Connor (Community Education Officer, AONTAS) outlined how the Advocacy Team at AONTAS co-created the Community Education Against Disinformation (CEAD) Project workbook that supports community education participants\u2019 development of competencies to ensure they can engage with digital technologies in a critical, collaborative and creative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workbook can be accessed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aontas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CEADWorkbook_Design_WebVersion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.aontas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CEADWorkbook_Design_WebVersion.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-5.png\" alt=\"Attendees participating in the groupwork session\" class=\"wp-image-6967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-5.png 568w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-5-420x270.png 420w, https:\/\/www.medialiteracyireland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DisinfoForum-5-312x199.png 312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Attendees participating in the groupwork session<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day finished with a groupwork session designed to give participants an opportunity to work in small groups to share experiences and propose potential solutions to common challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants were asked to answer two questions as part of a facilitated discussion. <strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Q1: Identify one immediate action and one long-term action that could help to foster media literacy, and in turn help to build resilience to disinformation in the community<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Q2: What tools, resources, partnerships and\/or policy supports would need to be in place to help you make those actions a reality?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A positive point noted from the workshop outputs was that a significant number of the suggested actions are already either under way, or work is being undertaken to address these actions.
