Course: INFLUENCING the INFLUENCERS
(Mariana Pereira and Diogo Bernardo)

Today, any 12 or 13 year old kid can be an influencer. And even though they are followed because they are great at playing video games or creating funny videos for TikTok, the truth is that their audience expects them to have an opinion on other subjects. This can be great, but can also be dangerous, as some subjects are too important to give an uninformed opinion about.

In this course, we aim to provide tools for the influencers of the future (or present) that include how to share informed opinions and influence people utilizing strong messages against hate, prejudice and racism.
