Ghent University conducted unusual social experiment in classes and outside

Ghent University is challenging everyone to dare to think, to question conventional views and to dare to take a nuanced stand. #daretothink is in our DNA and we encourage everyone to do the same. The university wanted to see how long it took for students to respond and object to dubious, incorrect statements made by their professors. The intention was to challenge them to question certain views. DARE TO THINK - the credo of Ghent University - stands for daring to think 'critically', a real bonus in a society where fake news is an everyday reality. The reactions of the students were filmed during classes given by three professors (Johan Braeckman, Mirjam Knockaert and Lieven De Marez).
