The social media & teens project is focused on the issues that teenagers & young people encounter in their use of social media. Our mission is to empower them to use social media responsibly and to engage them in co-creating the next generation of digital public spaces. We have several activities coming up in the new year, starting off with a World Café where we will discuss whether social media is a responsible technology with some amazing panelists as well as the RTH community! 

Further down the road, we want to engage with teenagers more directly by working with them in their classrooms. Finally, we want to put all our learnings into a set of guidelines to help young people use social media in a healthier way and we might even hack our way into the social media game as well, so stay tuned!
