We, the Capstone 01, are a team of students pursuing a Masters in International Affairs at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva. Our applied research project, in collaboration with the Angie Brooks International Centre (ABIC), aims to study the Women’s Situation Room (WSR) to identify and review current entry points for engaging youth gangs to participate in the prevention of violent conflict. As part of this project, we would like to analyse the relation between fake news and violence. We would be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to fill out this survey. If there is any question that you are not comfortable with, you are free to skip it.
It should ideally take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete it. For the sake of anonymity please do not mention your name anywhere on this survey. The information collected in this survey will be used solely for the purpose of this project and will not be published elsewhere.
