Verschwörungserzählungen verstehen und angemessen reagieren

Whether in our personal lives, at work or on social media, we come across conspiracy narratives time and time again. But what lies behind them, and how can we respond when people around us believe in them?

As part of the free online series ‘STARKES NETZwerk’ organised by BASF and the Business Council for Democracy (BC4D), you’ll learn about the psychological mechanisms and motives behind conspiracy ideologies and the impact they have on individuals and society.

You’ll also gain an overview of current developments and practical suggestions on how to engage with people who hold conspiracy-based beliefs in your personal or professional life.

Further events in the ‘STARKES NETZwerk’ series:

• 25 November 2026: The culture of debate

• 2 December 2026: Disinformation

Both events will take place online from 12:00 to 13:00, are free of charge and can be attended independently of one another.
