Social Media Analyse User Group
13 May - 6 June 2021 | OnlineThe increasing popularity of online media and social media channels have revolutionized the way that society, now perceived as global, communicates, interacts and shares information and opinions. Given this aspect, in addition to the positive aspects of the media channels, we must be aware of the negative effects that these can have on us, as individuals, but also as a society.
About the project
Social media addiction is a real phenomenon. As more people carry around smartphones and other devices wherever they go, it becomes harder to escape the internet. Despite the long time we loose on these websites, what is really concerning is the lack of awareness and understanding of the negative effects that the unconscious use of social networks has on young people. Although we realize that the huge time spent online is not beneficial, very few are aware of the impact of this in our daily lives.
Considering these we decided to work on this issue by raising awareness about the negative effects of social media.
Is social media good for us?
Creativity and critical thinking skills
Awareness of the social media impact on our lives
Awareness of the negative effects of social media
Activities & Methodes
The program was created to meet participants’ needs and to develop their digital skills. We used a variety of non-formal methods of learning adapted to different activities. During the project we developed our creativity and critical thinking skills, learned about communication, how is media content created, fake news, cyberbullying, social media impact on our lives, digital footprint and reputation etc.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of the project the participants developed knowledge about social media (what is it, what it represents, what forms it can take, what are the negative effects of social media, how to act responsible in the online environment, the way the fake news spread online and how can we protect ourselves, digital footprint, cyberbullying, personal branding etc.) as well as knowledge about the Erasmus + program and the Youthpass certificate, about different cultures and traditions, languages etc. The participants developed also important skills like critical thinking, to protect from the dangers in the online environment and fake news, to make informed decisions, to work in teams, to debate and to communicate in different languages.
