Webinar was held on December 20, 2018

Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and act using media. Many times, prevention programs use media examples to show examples of abuse in relationships or sexual violence, but young people can benefit from more critical media literacy.

During this webinar, participants will gain a deeper knowledge about media literacy and how to empower young people to engage in critical media literacy. Furthermore, participants will gain more knowledge about the role that identity affirmation plays in media literacy.
