On this episode of The Informer we explore the themes of social media bullying further as we look at what it means as well as how it is being combated. We speak to victims, experts and activists that use the internet as a way to express and explore themes in our communities and how we can guard ourselves against that being portrayed in a negative light.
First up we speak to Lucy Thomas from the peer group Project Rockit, who, for over ten years have been empowering school students to stand up to hate instead of standing by and watching. Through the lens of cyber bullting, their workshops explore themes of diversity, belonging, respectful relationships, values and ethics while building student voices, leadership and empathy.
