From January 7 – 11, 2020, the second online marathon on social media was held to create modern high-quality content on the topic of “Disinformation and methods of dealing with it.”
More than 36 people signed up for the second marathon and more than 160 publications were created on social networks: Instagram, Facebook, Telegram. The main goal of the marathon was to inspire users to create more quality gender-sensitive and conflict-sensitive content on social networks, as well as to determine future opinion leaders in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
