With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and social media platforms, how can parents help their children develop independent thinking skills while also supporting their emotional well-being amid an overwhelming flood of information where truth and falsehood are increasingly difficult to distinguish? Hong Kong Education City (EdCity) understands the importance parents place on their children's information literacy and emotional development. In response to parents' interest in a seminar on how to analyse "fake news", EdCity has specially invited representatives from HK01 to speak at our parent seminar in October, with the aim of strengthening children's analytical skills and ability to face challenges. 

"Unpacking Fake News and Disinformation: Spotting the Truth, Staying Calm" will explore common types of fake news found online. The seminar will also show parents how to guide their children in verifying information sources and developing thoughtful, discerning habits, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the age of AI. 

Fake news may also affect children's mental health. 01 Education and 01 Parenting under HK01, in collaboration with Re:learn Education, have jointly developed Mindful Planet, a gamified emotional education app that integrates mindfulness practices into the daily lives of students and parents, as well as into school activities and support programmes. 

During the seminar, our speakers will introduce this emotional education mobile app, which combines gaming with positive psychology. The app aims to provide students with an additional channel of emotional support and help strengthen their resilience. Register now for the October parent seminar and join your child in developing the skills needed to thrive in the AI era while strengthening information literacy and resilience. Details of the seminar are as follows:
