Webinar 2: Thriving on socials in 2022
While it is impossible to know the ins and outs of every social media platform available, we can identify commonalities to inform and shape our behaviours. By looking at popular platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, we will reveal the type of content young people are able to access, the sort of connections they are able to make and the information that is being collected about them. You'll also gain practical tips that can be immediately implemented at home to start the conversation about managing life as socially connected digital citizens.
