On April 12th, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Canada, in collaboration with the US Embassy in Canada and the Information Integrity Lab (IIL) at the University of Ottawa, hosted the first-ever seminar on the Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) in Canada. The event, titled "Building Democratic Resiliency Against Disinformation: Elections in Taiwan and Beyond," shared insights into Taiwan's mature and active civil society, including the establishment of voluntary fact-checking centers, analysis of patterns and techniques of misinformation, and public-private cooperation to counter cognitive warfare from authoritarian regimes. The seminar aimed to defend Taiwan's democratic values and institutions and demonstrate Taiwan's desire to continue collaborating with like-minded nations in both the public and private sectors. It is hoped that such collaboration will strengthen global democratic resilience and effectively combat the spread of misinformation by foreign actors interfering in democratic elections.
