Social Media, Misogyny & Misinformation Training

The Netflix series Adolescence has sparked national conversation, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer advocating for it to be shown in all secondary schools to address the rising influence of online misogyny.

The rise of social media influencers has transformed the way young people consume information, form opinions, and shape their identities. While many influencers offer motivational and positive content, a growing number promote misogynistic ideologies, toxic masculinity, and misinformation that can deeply impact young minds.

While media exposure can raise awareness, it is teachers, youth workers, and professionals who need the knowledge and confidence to engage young people in meaningful conversations about these issues. That’s why KIP Education, in collaboration with leading youth work expert Vanessa Rogers, is offering this essential training .

Designed specifically for professionals working with young people, this interactive course will unpack the growing impact of social media influencers who promote harmful ideologies disguised as self-improvement.

This essential training for educators, youth workers, and professionals working with young people will unpack the influence of online misogyny, explore its links to radicalisation, and provide strategies to challenge these harmful narratives.
