This is the summary from the forthcoming report into Young People & Internet Safety by Liz Robson, Visiting Fellow at Newcastle University.

Get Involved with Net Assets

media

Net Assets is being run by the Regional Youth Work Unit – North East with funding from Policy and Representation partnership and Big Lottery. Social media is said to have played a negative role in the recent riots in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Is it the tool that is evil or is it more about the individual using it?

Using Net Assets we want to work with young people to develop a campaign using social media, they will determine the focus themselves and we will support them to develop the work. Know of any young people who are interested or want to learn more about social media contact ria@rywu.org.uk or 01914404410.

 

Net Assets Date Changed
