Waihōpai, Invercargill: Join us for Belonging Online

Posted in Events Posted on

Join us for Belonging Online, a seminar in Invercargill exploring the critical issues surrounding online harm in Aotearoa, New Zealand and abroad.

As digital spaces become increasingly hostile, it is crucial to understand what drives these trends and their impacts so that we are prepared to advocate and support the online belonging of our communities.

This event aims to educate and empower attendees with knowledge about the complexities of online harm, what drives it, and to discuss actionable solutions to create safer online environments. Our expert speaker will provide valuable insights and examples of the factors contributing to online hostility and share strategies for fostering positive online spaces.

Whether you’re a concerned citizen, educator, or community leader, this event is an opportunity to engage with these important issues that affect us all.
