Today, teens are bombarded with information, and it can be really hard to know what is true and what is not. Jewish teens are invited to join our upcoming workshop to learn how to tell fact from fiction online. Middle and high school students will meet the experts at the News Literacy Project and learn how to effectively identify and counter misinformation. Learn how to become informed leaders online and in your community. Register today!
A healthy democracy requires an informed citizenry that can think critically and independently. However, today’s media and social media landscape is overrun with misinformation, making it extraordinarily difficult to make informed civic decisions. As the newest “digital citizens,” teens are particularly vulnerable to media manipulation, and many do not have the essential media literacy skills they need to cut through the noise online.
We are inviting your teens to “Your Feed, Your Future: A Jewish Teen’s Guide to Media & Democracy,” a virtual program. Hosted by A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy, middle and high school students will meet the experts at the News Literacy Project and learn how to effectively identify and counter misinformation online so they can become informed leaders in our community.
This program aims to teach Jewish teens how to critically assess media to identify and counter misinformation. Let’s grow, inspire, and activate more civically informed young leaders!
