The Blueprint for Financial Independence and Long-Term Resilience

If you want to move from "surviving grant to grant" to "thriving with a community of supporters," this in-depth, premium workshop is for you.

Summer School on Misinformation, Disinformation and Hate Speech - Hybrid Format: Rome (Italy) and online

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 03:32:37 +0000

Country: Italy

Organization: UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute

Start date: 6 Jul 2026

End date: 10 Jul 2026

Registration deadline: 21 Jun 2026

Technological advancements are revolutionising how people connect, communicate, and access information, creating unprecedented opportunities for sharing knowledge and fostering cooperation and advancements in all human disciplines. However, these same innovations have enabled the rapid spread of misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech, posing significant risks to the integrity of the information ecosystem. Safeguarding this integrity is essential to protecting human rights, peace and security, and a sustainable future.

The international community continues to grapple with the geopolitical and societal challenges posed by these phenomena. Misinformation and disinformation increase vulnerability and amplify risks, while hate speech undermines dignity and safety, often inciting violence and creating societal instability. Recognising the severity of these issues, the UN General Assembly has called for international cooperation to counter their spread, as reflected in the Secretary-General’s 2022 report on disinformation and the 2021 resolution establishing the International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
In June 2024, the UN published its Global Principles for Information Integrity, which addresses these challenges by promoting transparency, accountability, and collaboration among governments, tech companies, civil society, and individuals. These guidelines aim to combat harmful narratives, protect human rights, and foster trust by creating a secure and inclusive digital space.

The 4th edition of the Summer School on Misinformation, Disinformation, and Hate Speech will be delivered in a hybrid format from 6 to 10 July 2026 by UNICRI and the Italian Society for International Organisation (SIOI).

The Summer School will provide participants with a fundamental understanding of the various dimensions of disinformation, hate speech, and fake news, including the role of social media in war and political propaganda campaigns. The existing international legal and policy frameworks will be examined to improve participants’ ability to address the issue comprehensively and promote their role as advocates for an effective change in public policies, strategies, and practices. More specifically, the curriculum includes the following topics:

The difference between disinformation and misinformation and the different types of disinformation and misinformation.
The difference between hate speech and freedom of expression.
An overview of the international legal framework and human rights standards used to counter hate speech and disinformation.
The role of fake news in fuelling hate speech and the link between fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech.
The role of social media hate speech and disinformation in war and political propaganda campaigns.
The role of AI in disinformation.
Disinformation: techniques and strategies. Tools to detect and debunk disinformation.
Tools to monitor and respond to misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech – including the role of media.
Proposing a counternarrative to hate speech – Debunking as a method of uncovering hate speech, disinformation, misinformation, and fake news.

The Summer School offers professional, legal, social, scientific, and academic perspectives through theoretical lectures, group discussions, dynamic case studies, individual readings, and practical exercises. The faculty is composed of expert scholars and academics from leading universities, representatives of the United Nations system, international human rights bodies, and the civil society.

Whether attending the course in person at the SIOI’s historical premises in the centre of Rome (Italy), or through a dedicated online platform, participants will have the opportunity to interact with international recognised experts and peers from all over the world, to exchange view and opinions and build lasting professional relationships. The course experience aims to fostering intercultural dialogue and to promoting a deeper understanding of some of the world’s most complex and debated issues.

1. Entry Requirements

The course is intended for university and post-graduate students, PhD candidates, media and other professionals, including United Nations (UN) personnel, as well as anyone interested in gaining an understanding of disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech; how they manifest themselves and what tools are available to combat them.
Candidates must meet the following minimum requirements::

Be enrolled in, or have completed, a first university degree program (bachelor’s level or equivalent).
Possess a strong command of the English language.

2. Course Methodology

The Summer School adopts a hybrid model of learning, which allows participants to attend lectures either in person or virtually through their own device, so as to adjust to individual needs.

Classes will be delivered live for those participants on-site and will be streamed for those connected remotely. Special attention will be devoted to ensuring synchronous and seamless interaction with and amongst instructors and participants, both online and in class.

The class schedule may be subject to change for additional activities, which will be communicated before the course begins. Absences resulting from inadequate planning will not be considered justified. Participants who do not complete the course will not be entitled to the certificate award, refunds, or reductions in registration fees.

In-person modality
Classes take place at SIOI in Rome (Italy) from Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm CEST.

Online modality
Classes will be streamed via a dedicated online platform from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm CEST from Monday to Friday. Online participants are expected to adjust their schedules to fully participate in the classes irrespective of the time zones they are in.
Participants need a computer (recommended) or a mobile device with audio and video capabilities, a headset with a microphone to connect to the audio through the computer or mobile device, as well as a reliable internet connection. We recommend accessing audio through the computer. No special software is required. Upon acceptance to the course, participants will be provided with the information to access the platform.

3. Certificate of Participation

Upon successful completion of the entire Summer School programme, participants will be awarded a certificate of participation jointly issued by the United Nations and SIOI. The Organizers reserve the right to take into account duly justified and exceptional reasons for absences when determining eligibility for the certificate.

MEAL in Action (2026)

Adaptive MEAL when plans meet reality

Self-Study Certificate Course
Start: Immediate Access
Time: Approximately 3 hours to complete

Your MEAL Plan Was Solid. Then Reality Hit.

You designed a good system. Indicators were clear. Baseline was done. Data collection was planned. Then six months in, attendance collapsed in half your sites. The data looked suspicious. Community leaders showed up with complaints. The donor emailed asking why you're behind target. Most MEAL training ends at the plan. This one starts where they stop—when implementation gets messy. Without adaptive MEAL skills, you face:

Monitoring data that shows problems but no framework for deciding what to do
Suspicious numbers you report anyway because you don't know how to validate them
Overall averages that hide the fact some groups are being left behind
Cultural tensions or unintended effects that weren't in your theory of change
End-of-project reports that explain what happened but not what you learned

This course puts you in the role of MEAL Manager for a women's economic empowerment program. Over 24 months of simulated program time, you'll face the decisions that define effective MEAL practice—and learn frameworks you can apply immediately. No abstract theory. Real decisions with real consequences. After this course, you'll confidently:

Design sampling strategies that reveal patterns instead of hiding them in averages
Decide "adapt now" versus "investigate first" using a clear adaptive management framework
Triangulate suspicious data before it undermines your credibility
Use disaggregation to show who is benefiting and who is being left behind
Capture unintended consequences—positive and negative—that fall outside your logframe
Communicate disappointing results to donors as learning, not failure

How You'll Learn

This self-paced course combines video lessons with comprehensive reference materials:

Video lessons following a realistic 24-month case study simulation
40-page Participant Handbook — complete course transcript for reference
5 Field Note PDFs — printable guides on sampling, adaptive management, triangulation, disaggregation, and unintended consequences
15-question knowledge assessment
Reflection and action planning tool
Certificate upon completion

Ideal For

MEAL/M&E officers and managers in NGOs or humanitarian programs
Program staff who handle reporting and donor relations
Anyone who's built a MEAL plan but struggles when reality deviates
Practitioners ready to move beyond basic indicators to adaptive, evidence-based decision-making

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of MEAL concepts (outcomes, outputs, indicators, baselines) and some exposure to program implementation. New to MEAL? Start with Planning for MEAL first.

Course developed and presented by Neil Kendrick, founder of ELD Impact, with 25+ years of experience training humanitarian professionals across 20+ countries.

Organization: ELD Training for Impact

MEAL Planning in Practice (2026)

Practical MEAL systems for small NGOs without dedicated M&E staff

Self-Study Certificate Course
Start: Immediate Access
Time: Typically around 3 hours to complete

MEAL Doesn't Have to Be Complicated

You've been handed MEAL responsibilities but no one showed you how to actually do it. You know you need to track progress and prove impact, but the frameworks feel complicated and the jargon doesn't help. Most MEAL training assumes you have a dedicated M&E team and months to design systems. For smaller NGOs, that's not reality. Without a workable MEAL system, organizations face:

Donors asking for evidence of impact you can't provide
Data collection that buries your team without informing decisions
No clear way to know if you're reaching the most vulnerable
Missed opportunities to adapt when something isn't working
End-of-project reports scrambled together from incomplete records

This practical training gives you a simple, working MEAL system you can build this week. You'll follow a program officer's journey as she builds her MEAL plan from scratch, facing the same questions you do: Are we reaching the most vulnerable? Are we creating real change? How do I prove impact to the donor? No complex frameworks designed for large agencies. Just what works when resources are limited and you need something functional. Through this training, you'll be able to:

Build a MEAL Framework Table for any project using a 9-column planning structure
Design indicators that measure both reach and quality
Set realistic targets based on context, not wishful thinking
Run monthly learning meetings that turn data into decisions
Explain your MEAL system to donors with confidence

How You'll Learn

This self-paced course combines video lessons with practical tools you can use immediately:

Video presentations following a realistic case study
The MEAL Framework Table — a 9-column planning tool covering what to measure, how to calculate it, where data comes from, who collects it, and who gets informed
The Monthly Learning Meeting template — a 4-part agenda that turns data into decisions
The MEAL Plan Quality Checklist — a review tool to check your plan before you finalize it
Knowledge check to test your understanding
Certificate upon completion
