Fake News

Learn to understand fake news

Interactive tour and city walk in cooperation with the Regionaal Archief Alkmaar. In this new program, the class will work with fake news. Students discover that fake news is of all times; long ago, during the Revolt, for example, fake news was also used. Like social media today, the invention of the printing press had greatly accelerated the spread of information, but how reliable was that information?

In the archives, students get to see original pamphlets, cartoons and letters. They also subject some famous heroes of the Siege of Alkmaar to a "fact check"; when do these heroes first appear in the historiography, and ... did they really exist?

City Walk

During a short city tour, students will look for traces of winners and losers.
Students visit both Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar and Regionaal Archief Alkmaar, with a short city walk of about 1.5 km in between.
