Lunch lecture - This can't be a coincidence
In this interactive and dynamic show, Lisa Loeb and Daniel Paarlberg dive into the fascinating world of conspiracy theories and fake news. Why do intelligent people sometimes believe misleading information—and how does that affect collaboration and decision-making within organizations? With humor, psychological quizzes, and surprising insights, they offer practical tools for effectively tackling misinformation. Of course, there will also be time for questions.
And we’ll provide a light lunch!
This is a Dutch spoken event
