Dialog about Fakes 3.0 Forum has become the only Russian event of UNESCO’s Global MIL Week (Global Media and Information Literature Week). The international forum “Dialog about Fakes 3.0”, taking place in Moscow on 29 October 2025, brings together media professionals, fact-checkers, educators, and policymakers to tackle disinformation and boost media literacy. This year, the “Dialog about Fakes” forum is being held in partnership with the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN), an international fact-checking association established by ANPO “Dialog Regions”, the TASS news agency and the “New Media School”.

“With a strong focus on multipolar fact-checking — verifying information across diverse cultural and geopolitical contexts — the forum promotes fair, inclusive, and objective approaches to truth in a fragmented media landscape. It highlights ethical journalism, audience trust, and digital-era media education, aligning closely with UNESCO’s goals for global media and information literacy. More than just a discussion, it’s a step toward building resilient, fact-based societies — making it a valuable contributor to the Global MIL Week” — the description of the forum on the UNESCO website says.

In total, Global MIL Week will host more than 70 national and regional events around the world, including 21 in the Asia–Pacific region, 15 in Africa, 3 in Arab countries, 15 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 20 in Europe and North America.
