NU GSPP Webinar with Dr. Lisa Lim “Advocacy Through Social Media: Youth Engagement in Policy Communication”

SYNOPSIS

Lisa Lim presents on the role of social media and youth activism in public policy communication. In order to understand how youth leaders bring change she answers such questions as: How has technology changed pedagogy and public policy communication? Why should youth engage in public policy communication? What is a youth leader’s role and what do they do?

She provides examples of popular online movements like #BringBackOurGirls, #RefugeesWelcome, #MeToo, #StayHome that empowers young people to fight injustice and violations of human rights.
