Detoxing our Digital World: Stories and perspectives of young people

Co-hosted by Transparency International New Zealand (TINZ), the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), Classification Office and Integrity Fiji, this event is about creating a safe space for young people to think critically about social media and misinformation online and to have open discussions around bad actors and bad platforms.

This event will provide perspectives and information on the ecosystem of online misinformation and how it impacts elections, democracy and civil society - and important issues like climate change and COVID-19 response.

We will hear stories from young people in New Zealand and Fiji about how they perceive corrupt behaviour happening online and how they best navigate the platforms.

We will have a line up of awesome speakers to provide perspectives and information on the ecosystem of online misinformation such as:

• Jenna Galper (Centre for Countering Digital Hate) who will be exploring the key drivers of online harm and misinformation, using climate change disinformation as an example.
• Grace Conrote (Youth and Community Officer - Integrity Fiji) who will be discussing the high sextortion rates in Fiji and the Pacific and how social media plays a role.

And a few others who will be covering important issues in relation to Digital Harm.

We want to discuss together what young people can do now and how they can continue to speak up about the problems generated in the online ecosystem.

We will have time for Q&A's at the end of the event.

See you all online!
