Webinars to address the attraction young people have to negative social media influencers and what to do about it.
Three webinars for different groups are to be held on the subject of Social Media – The Golden Triangle of Protection.
Broxtowe Borough Council in partnership with the University of Oxford’s Doctoral Research Fellow, Ellen Froustis will present a three-part webinar series: one for parents/carers, one for schools and one for community organisations to address the attraction young people have to negative social media influencers and what to do about it.
Every person in the life of a child is an “influencer” who plays a crucial role in developing their sense of identity, worth and vision of who they aspire to be.
During this interactive workshop, participants will consider their role in the lives of young people and identify key strategies and practices to strengthen young people’s identity, guide them to make informed internet choices, and identify “real” community members of positive influence.
Disempowering the influence of social media starts with empowering young people’s sense of self with consistent language, practices and guidance by the people who have their best interest at heart: the community of trust, care, and nurture they belong to.
Aligning efforts can form a” Golden Triangle of Protection” to keep young people safer from the harms of social media.
