Many schools and families are concerned that they lack the necessary tools to effectively counteract the harmful influences found online. Social media algorithms often amplify extremist views, making toxic influencer’s more accessible to teenagers. This microsite will equip young audiences with critical thinking skills, foster open conversations, and empower educators to address social media impact, via bespoke digital content, creative resources, and interactivity addressing the plays themes.

Working alongside the play, Creative Engagement practitioners, schools and colleges, it is our aim to create socially relevant content that engages and supports thousands of young people in meaningful conversations relating to the positive and negative influence of social media. As our practitioners host workshops it is our aim to create a digital tool as a lasting legacy around safe online behaviour.
