Break Time
Time for a well-deserved break! Stand up and shake it out. Do you have far more questions than answers? That’s okay! Questions a great way to learn and start your own research. Here are a few prompts to think about:
- Have you considered communication as a human right before? How does the right to communication affect the social and ecological justice issues that concern you most?
- How do you exercise your communication rights? Where are they restricted?
- What do you do when you see hateful content online? How do you help create safe public digital spaces?
Have you gathered your thoughts? Noted your questions? Ready to go futher?
Good work. Let’s keep going.
