Research and Evaluation - Our Approach
Most of our research projects involve working with children and youth from diverse communities across Canada. We design projects that create safe spaces for young people to share their thoughts, experiences, concerns, and solutions about digital media literacy issues. We aim to empower young Canadians, providing them with knowledge and skills that they can take with them as they continue to navigate the online world and digital technology.
