Editor's Notes
- #2 Discussion: What does ‘Free to be me – exploring identity online’ means to the students. Tips for the discussion: It’s encourage young generation to explore their identity online and how the internet shapes the way that they think of themselves and others such as the things we share with each other, how others perceive us and interact with us, as well as how online services use the information we share to identify and profile us. Focus on how offline stereotypes and discrimination are challenged or reinforced online, and what young people can do in response to discrimination, hate or bullying online. Focusing on identity online supports young people to consider whether they feel free to experiment and express themselves online, or if they feel limited in who they can be when they’re online. By opening up conversations around identity online, young people can be inspired and empowered to support each other to be who they want to be, both online and offline.
