In this section of the course, we will talk about Youth activism. Firstly, I will provide some details about Youth Activism in general, and then focus in particular on Youth Activism in the realm of the media. I will discuss issues such as: What is youth activism, why is it important, what forms of youth activism are there, how do young people become activists, how to use social media as a tool for youth activism and so on. We will then go to explore in some detail two representative cases of youth activism. The first case study will be dedicated to a documentary called Kony 2012, which became viral and led to an international intervention intended to bring down a suspected war criminal. The second study case is the story of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.
