TINCON meets re:publica

Here are some of the program highlights:

WTF Politics: MEDIA COMPETENCE & DEMOCRACY PROMOTION

The European elections will take place in June and everyone aged 16 and over will have a say in who makes decisions in the coming years. How can young people make a good choice when debates on the internet are so overheated and more and more content is simply fake? It's difficult to maintain an overview and contribute constructively. TINCON shows how political communication works, explains the parties' strategies and tricks and provides input on how to deal with disinformation and populism.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Body image vs career opportunities

Social media has a direct influence on young people's body image, as has been proven many times over. Being constantly exposed to the oh-so-perfect bodies and easy mobeasy lifestyles of influencers who want to talk them into new miracle purchases every day is exhausting – so what's the best way to deal with this and how do you build healthy self-confidence? We'll find out. And a lot of good things happen online: careers and connections are made here.

Entertainment happens almost incidentally everywhere and if you want to be seen, you have to adapt to the rules of the platforms. How does good entertainment for a young target group work? The TINCON speakers lead the way.
