Real Talk: Social Media, AI and You
Workshop for children and young people
Social media and AI are changing how young people learn, communicate, and perceive themselves. Many teenagers navigate daily between digital exchange, information overload, and social comparison – often without sufficient guidance.
This workshop series goes beyond traditional media literacy. It supports students in better understanding their digital world, reflecting on it critically, and shaping it autonomously.
The central questions are: Who am I? What is real? And what value do I have as a human being in a world full of likes, algorithms, and AI?
Participants develop orientation, self-confidence and a reflective approach to digital technologies – skills that are becoming more important than ever in the AI age.
