"This collaboration was very important for us at AFP. We have done informal partnerships all over the world but this was the first time that we directly worked with students and reached out to colleges for a fact-checking programme," said @RizviUzair @factchecknet @ektanewsco

[BOOM Live @boomlive_in]

@jencyjac : "...I think the students would have really benefited from these fact-checking workshops."

Jency Jacob @jencyjac said, "The thought of bringing everyone together, who should be conducting the workshop...we felt that at least two member groups should do one workshop. These are small things but they bring quality to work...
