By attending a training day you will be equipped with practical skills and strategies to safeguard young people and will leave with:

  1. Increased knowledge around online radicalisation and extremism: focusing on Mixed Unclear Ideologies and Far Right extremism
  2. Developed key media literacy skills and strategies, including how to combat misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories and online gaming effectively
  3. Increased practical skills to navigate the social media and the online world and safeguard young people from radicalisation and extremism

We will ensure all attendees receive an agenda of plenary presentations focused on relatable themes delivered by leading experts and media literacy practitioners.
