Have you heard the rumours? Have you seen the news?
Were they really purple and powered by potatoes?! Perhaps we cant trust everything we read

Co-created with young people in Devon and supported by Libraries Unlimited, this exciting, interactive new play aims to dispel the myths and uncover the truth! Part of LU's Digital & Media Literacy Project, aiming to open up conversations about mis/disinformation online

Best suited for 6-10 year-olds and their families!
Runtime approx. 60 min

This event will take place in the Rougemont Room on the 2nd floor of Exeter Library
After the show, there will be some activities and chat about the themes of online safety and tackling misinformation. Suitable for all ages and lasting for about 30 mins after the show. (Plus free biscuits and fruit!) So please do stay around afterwards
