This episode looks at the work of grassroots organisations in protecting migrants and refugees, as one of the groups most affected by the infodemic. The episode will also try to highlight different approaches taken from different geographical, social, cultural and political contexts.

It illustrates a range of actions that could be taken in response to the question: If there is no immunity to the infodemic yet, how can we in the meantime better protect those who are disproportionally affected by it?
