No images? Click here NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER 2020 Kia ora koutou, Can you believe it's almost Christmas? We have a host of interesting news and content for you this month so we'll keep it short and let you get to the good stuff - a couple of video presentations, some beautiful infographics, some highly relevant research and some excellent resources from our friends at Ara Taiohi. If you see anything in our newsletter you'd like to use in your own work, just ask! We love to collaborate with interested partners. And feel free to forward this newsletter on to anyone who think would enjoy it. We'll see you again soon but until then remember to #WatchTogether #TalkTogether A few months ago David spoke on the 'Technology of Terror' at one of Europe's biggest tech conferences, Infoshare. It covers our learnings as media regulators countering online extremism in the aftermath of the Christchurch massacre, and also personal insights into the impact on David and our team as digital first responders. Click here for the full video. David and our youth facilitators put together a fantastic presentation for national youth health and development conference, Involve, earlier this year. We focused on our research listening to rangatahi talk with us about their online experiences, the importance of connecting with and listening to rangatahi in our work, and the online challenges specific to tamariki and rangatahi. Na te whakarongo me te titiro ka puta mai te korero - through looking and listening we gain wisdom. Click here for the full video. Digital media expert and senior lecturer Dr Claire Henry recently popped in to discuss her latest research using online 'nudge' techniques to steer potential perpetrators away from Child Sexual Abuse Material and towards the help they need. You can access her article via the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse here or download here (limited numbers available!). For more info and the full infographic by talented illustrator Tara, click here. Our friends at the Centre for Countering Digital Hate recently released Hatebook - a detailed examination of how neo-Nazis are funding far right extremism through merchandise sales on Facebook's social platforms. It's an excellent piece of research. Supplement with this great read from the Guardian for a breakdown of key points. Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley recently spent some time with our team discussing his research into far right extremism, QAnon, hate speech and free speech. Our resident illustrator Tara did a beautiful job of capturing key points from one session. In our next newsletter we'll have a podcast interview for you but in the meantime, click here for the expanded infographic view and catch up with some more of his work here and here. We're proud to work closely with the amazing team at Ara Taiohi. Two of our own youth facilitators recently attended their AGM, birthday celebrations and the launch of their latest Code of Ethics for Youth Work in Aotearoa. It's such a rich read for anyone working or collaborating with rangatahi, and informs our own approach for working with the Youth Advisory Panel - buy the book or download here. Do you work with young people? To complement Ara Taiohi's excellent Code of Ethics for youth workers, check out their equally brilliant resource Mana Taiohi - a principle based framework designed to support people (like us!) who work with rangatahi in Aotearoa. We're looking forward to taking our whole team through thisi training workshop next month. Ka pai!
