S3- Social Media- Fake News Project

We are delighted to be working with the University of Glasgow to create and design a project on helping young people to spot fake news, photoshopped images, etc.

This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils and will look fantastic on future university, college or employment applications.

Fake news reaches more people and spreads more quickly than the truth and is believed around 75% of the time.  Are you interested in working with academics and Instagram influencers to create a programme to teach young people about fake news? If so, please consider joining our team. We will ask you to come along to some meetings to discuss what topics you think should be covered in the programme (e.g. fake news, spotting photoshop, deepfakes) and helping us design some activities to explore the topics.  We will then package up the programme and it will be delivered in your school and other schools across the UK.  You will develop skills like teamwork and research and have the opportunity to shape a national level project

We are looking for a group of S3 pupils to be involved in this project. If you are interested please contact Mr Richardson on gw12richardsonjack@glow.sch.uk
