Summary
Our Tea Cup Diaries project in Myanmar aims to address issues around social cohesion and celebrate ethnic and religious diversity within the country. Increasingly, the long-running radio drama and associated Facebook content has been addressing issues related to fake news and media literacy. As part of a new phase of funding for the project, the production team created two new pilot videos – a Public Service Announcement (PSA) and a 5 minute mini-drama – tackling the issue of fake news. The pilots were tested with audiences to learn how to best engage them on the topic.
