About this session
Tumblr and UK-based youth and education charity, Ditch the Label, are launching the World-Wide-What? Campaign in November 2019 focused on empowering the Tumblr community with the skills and knowledge to develop the healthiest possible relationship with the Internet and social media. The campaign is based on extensive research by the Ditch the Label team and a free eight lesson digital literacy curriculum available to all educators focused on teaching such skills as identifying fake news, understanding digital footprints, and protecting your mental health and wellbeing online. Join this session to learn about the Ditch the Label and Tumblr’s partnership and participate in an interactive discussion shaping a vision for what a digitally literate platform and community might look like.
Goals of this session
Encourage participants to start thinking more about how to design inclusive, safe online experiences for young people. Find new people and partners to work on that goal.
