Project
Politeracy project is an initiative of a consortium of Integriti Technologies and Yes We Can Youth Leadership Initiative. The project is aimed at promoting political literacy and participation among rural youths by equipping them with digital skills.
In order to sustain the spirit and passion that gave rise to #EndSARS, this project seeks to conduct trainings on digital Skills and political education for youths in rural and semi-urban communities in Enugu State. It is noteworthy to state that there is a big voting population of rural youths during elections but these youths have shown low political enlightenment, socio-political engagement and activism due to their lack of proper digital skills and adequate knowledge of the use and power of the internet and social media tools. Continuous sensitization and engagement in civic action will also be done via social media.
During these training, participants will learn and take action on:
-
Communication: Setting up an email account and online video chat profile
-
Social media: Setting up accounts and proper use of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up-to-date with friends, families, and the latest news.
-
Understanding how to find information online
-
Appropriate use of personal devices and apps.
-
Determining the validity of sources to reduce the spread and consumption of false information
-
Online safety and protecting privacy.
-
Video creation and editing.
-
How to monitor/keep up-to-date with government projects and activities via various channels
-
Political awareness and enlightenment
-
This project will help engender in youths in these select communities the passion to demand for good governance and give them the confidence, knowledge and tools to amplify their voices.
