Identity and Social Media in Jena: Workshop for Parents and Teenagers

Identity and Social Media: Talking Together About the Self

How is our self-image formed – and what influence do social media have on it? The workshop Identity and Social Media at the ProbierLaden Jena invites parents and teenagers aged 12 and older to explore questions around identity, digital self-presentation, and personal perception together.

Between Self-Image and Digital External Effects

Likes, comments, images, and short videos shape the daily lives of many teenagers. The workshop focuses on consciously perceiving the impact of social media on one’s own identity formation and categorizing personal experiences.

Methods for Families and Teenagers

With suitable methods and information, the event is aimed at parents and teenagers who have already gathered initial experiences with social media. The exchange opens up space for different perspectives and supports a reflective media use both inside and outside social networks.
