The Jordanian Naya Community Network held a training session on media and information literacy, on the 8th of December, which directly aimed to guide young people in Zarqa Governorate towards acquiring effective information investigation skills and ensuring access to accurate content, in light of the fight against misleading media information.

 Naya Network analyzed real media sources and provided practical experiments with online research, how to verify and examine misleading images, and how to deal with them with caution, enhancing their understanding and ability to convey accurate information.
