Fact-checking workshop
Central and Western District Council Sponsorship
With the spread of social media and the dispersion of online messages, there is a lot of fake information. Since the outbreak of the epidemic at the beginning of last year, I believe every citizen has been overwhelmed by news spread online.
In order to reduce the spread of false information and at the same time build a beautiful community, this event will introduce the reasons for the spread of false information, the importance of fact-checking, and basic techniques and tools for verification. After participants learn basic checks, they can apply it to their daily lives to reduce the chance of information in the region.
The plan is for residents of the Central and Western regions to take priority participation, check materials and make fact-checking reports on topics of concern to residents in the region, and promote more residents in the Central and Western regions to use fact-checking as the basis for disseminating information.

It is hoped that they will be able to independently complete a documentary feature report within three months. The mentor will guide the students to gain a thorough understanding and practical experience in conceptualizing, writing, shooting, editing, and post-production. During the internship period, the mentors will assist the students to complete the shooting work, and the organization is responsible for reviewing the content. During the internship, students were also able to receive support to assist in the production process.
Target audience: People currently working in the media.
New Media Internship/Partner Exchange Program
In order to promote the diversification of Internet content, help young people interested in collecting newspapers and work in new media to gain experience and further develop their businesses, this plan will fund the costs of the internship and exchange period.
Funding amount: Once all applications are accepted, applicants will receive a stipend of HK$12,000, and matching organizations will also receive a mentoring fee of HK$8,000. The final number of participants was seven, including newcomers to media or documentary filmmakers, social workers, etc. Although the number of participants was less than the target originally anticipated, only half of the participants had actual experience due to differences in learning. Despite the gap with expectations, the enthusiasm of the participants was still very high. Every time after class, discussions continued for more than an hour, and they all agreed that the workshop gave them a lot of benefits.
Online Citizenship Awards
Anetwork community
The 2018 Internet Citizenship Award hopes to show how online citizens can imagine, restructure, write and present life in Hong Kong and the community through the Internet space, and convey to the community the message that the community is structured by imagination, encouraging everyone to imagine the Hong Kong and community life in their minds through the different platforms of the Internet, and to realize this idea.
Open the internet and change the world
The internet is no small matter. From community planning, animal rights, to political participation, there are no social problems of any size. It is not only up to you and my fellow citizens to discover, but also to change.
Due to the variety of forms of online creation, the 2017 Citizens' Award changed the past practice of classifying awards in the form of creation and established three awards “Internet Citizen of the Year”, “Annual Online Project Award”, and “Student Internet Project Award” to show the public the power of online citizens and thank them for their efforts to change society through online creations, reports, suggestions, and changes.
