In our workshop “Social Media” we explore the internet together with our participants and learn about the dangers and opportunities of this new technology. We also want our participants to reflect on their own internet usage and social media habits.
The workshop focuses on teaching the young students how to protect their privacy on the internet. Apart from that we also talk about cyberbullying and hate speech and explain how algorithms manipulate people into staying on their phone for longer than they want.
The topics and complexity of the workshop can be adjusted according to the age and needs of the participants.
Our goal is to
- explain to the participants how media has changed from print to social media
- reflect with participants on their own internet usage, together with the participants
- show which dangers lurk on the internet and how to avoid them
- guide the participants towards a productive use of the internet
