Introducing Season 4: Dismantling Misinformation to Get to Peace

Published on: 17th February, 2026

In Season 4 of Disrupting Peace, we’re asking how we can dismantle the myths, mis- and dis-information that get in the way of achieving peace. Because we can’t move towards peace if we don’t have a clear picture of what’s actually happening. We’ll look at the spread of war propaganda, the targeting of journalists, how violent ideologies distort people's understanding of facts, what works to debunk bad information, how AI might help peace, and more.

Season 4 launches on March 17th.

Disrupting Peace is a production of The World Peace Foundation. Find out more at worldpeacefoundation.org. This season is partially funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
