 The students were interested in learning about how misinformation influences public perception of humanitarian crises but also sought to understand how these perceptions impact the effectiveness of humanitarian action and initiatives. The HAI Student Advisory Council learned about how we, as students, can work towards increasing humanization and drawing attention to humanitarian work.
