In the ever-evolving landscape of digital communities, where three out of four people on the internet are part of an online group, the role of moderators and administrators is crucial. Often, they bear significant responsibilities without the necessary skills and resources to address the growing challenges of the online world, leaving both stewards and community members vulnerable.
Building on a successful 2022 training initiative, the speakers will present a session spotlighting their latest development – the digital community stewards online courses. This course collection empowers moderators and administrators by guiding them to navigate their roles seamlessly and foster social cohesion in the vast digital landscape.
In this session, they’ll take you through the course collection to explore a spectrum of lessons, encompassing misinformation, digital safety, digital leadership, digital rights, and other pivotal topics.
Discover how you can seamlessly integrate these lessons into your digital peacebuilding trainings, fostering safer and more empowered communities both in the digital realm and offline.
Join us on Thursday, 14 December at 10am ET // 16h WAT for this ConnexUs Thursday Talk: Empowering Digital Moderators to Foster Social Cohesion
