Participants will explore ethical and legal frameworks, digital verification tools, advanced investigative techniques, and data security practices. By the end of the course, learners will be empowered with actionable skills to apply OSINT responsibly and effectively in disaster response, conflict monitoring, refugee protection, and crisis communications.
