In an era of fake news and misinformation, media literacy is more important than ever. Our recent training sessions focused on empowering participants, who were mostly youths, to critically evaluate information, discern fact from fiction, and become responsible digital citizens. Together, we're fighting disinformation and promoting media literacy for a more informed society.

Social media platforms have immense potential to drive positive change and amplify important messages. Through our training sessions, we're empowering young people to leverage social media for good causes, from advocating for social justice to promoting positive narratives.

We all need to harness the power of social media for a brighter future.
