It is well known that the media never talk about trains arriving on time. So much so that following the news can be totally depressing. Without denying the great threats and difficulties that cross our time, there is also very good news that sometimes reaches us and is not relayed enough. To ignore them is to condemn oneself to despair. Here are three recent pieces of information that will make us smile again.

UK leads the way in tackling fake news

The impact of disinformation on our democracies is becoming increasingly clear. In the face of this danger, British children will now be given a lesson in how to spot fake news.

As Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson explained:

It is more important than ever that we equip young people with the knowledge and skills to challenge what they see online. Our curriculum review will develop plans to embed essential skills into the classroom to arm our children against the misinformation, fake news and rotten conspiracy theories that flood social media.

Other countries like Finland have already incorporated this discipline into their school curricula.

This endangered species is doing better

In the 1980s, there were only 300 mountain gorillas left in Rwanda in the Virunga Mountains in Rwanda. Today, and thanks to conservation efforts, their number exceeds 600.

The national park that hosts them will even expand by 23% to accommodate them all. These initiatives are also beneficial economically. Thus, 17,000 new jobs are created in ecotourism, agriculture and sustainable forestry.

Child influencers are better protected

As of 2022, no US state has passed legislation to protect child influencers. Today, there are 11. For example, California, Minnesota, Utah and Illinois provide that a portion of the funds raised through these activities must be placed in accounts that they can use when they come of age.

That’s it for this week. If you liked this article, you can always reread the previous part of this section to find other good news that went relatively unnoticed.
