Over the last 7 months, 3,195 students from 6 secondary schools took part in this extraordinary Ofcom-funded programme to explore media literacy and digital citizenship. The results have been extraordinary.
Through discussion, debate and creative workshop activities, our tenacious students learned how to develop an argument, consider different perspectives and understand the risks and rewards of navigating digital spaces.
They researched and fact-checked real-world topics, then worked in teams to create short videos summarising their chosen issues. Students chose media literacy topics that mattered to them most, from fake news and freedom of speech to mental health and misogyny. You can watch the video launch celebration here.
