Assistant Public Affairs Officer Griffin Rozell spoke on disinformation to audiences in Eastern Slovakia on February 15 and 16. Approximately forty university students attended a talk at the InfoUSA Center in Kosice and approximately seventy high school came to a lecture at a high school in Snina. Rozell spoke about how to identify and avoid disinformation and malign narratives online and on social media as well as about the work of the U.S. Embassy’s Public Affairs Section. The trip was initiated after a high school student in Snina wrote the Embassy requesting a U.S. diplomat speaker to come and talk about the harmful role disinformation plays in democratic societies.
