Navigating Disinformation Around Elections Masterclass

Join our 2-hour Masterclass!

Every election is now an (dis)information campaign, whether you're ready or not. Coordinated manipulation, foreign interference, and political lies spike exactly when democracy is most exposed. And here's the uncomfortable truth: you probably can't prevent these campaigns from happening. What you can control is how prepared you are when they hit.

This masterclass is built for NGOs, journalists, and digital media practitioners who cover elections and want to stop reacting and start anticipating. Structured around the full lifecycle of a disinformation campaign — before, during, and after — it gives you a concrete plan for each phase, so your newsroom stays ahead of the narrative instead of chasing it.

What you will master

Before
Prepare before the storm. You can't stop the campaign, so the work starts early. Setting up your newsroom, focussing on resilience, building protocols, and protecting your team and your credibility before the first false narrative lands.

During
Verify, don't amplify. Fact-checking and verification under live election pressure, plus the discipline of knowing when not to cover something, so you're not handing manipulators the reach they're counting on.

After
Mitigate and recover. What to do once a campaign has run: limiting the damage, correcting the record, and strengthening your audience's resilience so you're better prepared for the next cycle.

Meet the Trainer

Jordy Nijenhuis is a storyteller, campaigner, consultant and trainer based in the Netherlands, with over 10 years of experience countering disinformation, hate and polarisation. He is the director of Dare to be Grey, an award-winning organisation countering polarisation, disinformation and hate.

He co-founded the European Observatory of Online Hate (EOOH), serves as dissemination officer at the International Network Against Cyber Hate (INACH), and is the lead trainer of RNTC's Digital Media to Counter Disinformation and Hate course. Across a range of international projects, he trains media professionals from all over the world in social media campaigning, storytelling, and countering radicalisation, hate speech and disinformation.

His recent work sits at the centre of the online challenges we’re facing, from leading threat-detection reporting on online hate and information manipulation across Europe, to building The Feed, a large-scale interactive platform that teaches manipulation tactics through social-media-style simulations. He believes media is a powerful tool for behavioural change, and that countering disinformation demands new, creative approaches rather than the same old playbook.
