How do young people perceive the content that passes before them every day? And how does what they watch and share influence their relationships and communities?
In Idlib, SYCAC Organization brought together a diverse group of young women and men in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), providing a safe space for them to reflect openly on their relationship with social media and the impact of digital content on their opinions, behaviors, and daily interactions.
Participants discussed the challenges they face in distinguishing reliable information from misleading content, the influence of social pressures on patterns of engagement with widely circulated posts, and the opportunities available for young people to contribute to the creation of positive content that promotes the values of coexistence and mutual respect.
This session is part of the Echoes of Peace Project, implemented by SYCAC Organization across several Syrian governorates. The project aims to understand the dynamics of hate speech in Syria and to identify alternative narratives emerging from local communities that can support peacebuilding efforts at both the local and national levels.
