The youth of today continue to grapple with a variety of #mentalhealth challenges including #trauma . Today the Peace Fellows in Uganda under the Cross-border Dialogue in the Great Lakes region start on 2nd training focusing on 'Trauma Healing' facilitated by @AdeliteMukama

As young #peacefellows , be cautious about how you use social media especially in this era of Artificial Intelligence. Use verification tools such as; advanced searches & geo-location, avoid being sensational in community engagements on #socialmedia, be aware of the algorithms.

What do you want to know?.

We must be alive to the fact that there are many situations that impact consent and work through the layers when dealing with vulnarable people.

#Consent is a very important aspect in everything especially #socialmedia. When people are vulnerable, many times they wield less power because of their needs, so consent in these situations can be tricky. #Youth #socialmediadepolarisation #Trainingpeacefellows

As content creators, story tellers and writers, one of the things we should normalise is to tell our stories in a positive way. We are in the era of impact stories and so we have the opportunity to tell better stories. @AkelloMartha .#socialmediadepolarisation #disinformation

#Socialmedia when used constructively can have a positive impact in the society. I've used it to fundraise locally for the vulnerable people in my community in Arua city thanks to the fundraising skills from @refugeelawproj's training of peace fellows. #socialmediadepolarisation

Day-2 Training Peace Fellows on Social Media Depolarisation. Youth have been impacted with knowledge on alternative & counter narratives, and how to verify the information available on the different #socialmedia platforms. @Interpeace_Org .#crossborderdialogue #peacebuilding

As young people we have to challenge the #stereotypes we've internalised around who we are & where we come from. Holding onto these narratives, will make it harder for you to talk peace yet internally you still hold such views about certain people. #disinformation #socialmedia

#Disinformation affects the #MentalHealth of the victims. I represented Teso region for Miss Tourism Uganda but someone on #socialmedia spread wrong information that I am from S.Sudan. Even my Teso community didn't support me. I felt like resigning & taking back the crown.

As a peace builder you may be wondering what disinformation has to do with you. It has everything to do with you b'se in some countries it's been weaponised as a tool for conflict. You've to open your ears to it. #Training to counter polarisation & disinformation on #socialmedia

Under the cross-border dialogue, 2nd phase of Peace Fellows training commences in Uganda. In the next 9 days, youth will be engaged on Social Media Depolarisation with a focus on countering polarisation & disinformation on social media facilitated by @Yac_burundi
