Target groups

Target group: young people

• Workshops for classes, year groups and extracurricular institutions
• Service Bureau Youth Information | Expert Conference.
  The topics are chosen by the young people themselves; they usually revolve around the current media behavior of children and teenagers. As a team, we support the learning process with questions, suggestions, and inspiration, enabling participants to develop their own answers for reflective media use.

In addition, I have developed and implemented many other formats on current topics related to media use (media addiction, cyberbullying, YouTube, games, influencers, hate speech, etc.).
