EXPERIENCE 1
"NewsWise offers a really great toolkit for children to engage with the news, analyse the news, and make inferences about the news in a safe environment Allison Gram, Primary School Teacher"
WHAT WE DO
NewsWise generates curiosity and critical engagement with news, equipping children with the skills and knowledge to make sense of the world.
NewsWise educates children’s critical literacy skills, increasing their interest in and awareness of the news, as well as developing their confidence and skills when navigating the news. The programme builds children’s speaking and listening skills through discussion-based learnings.
Research on NewsWise evidences a strong positive relationship between news literacy and civic engagement among children aged 9-11 in the UK. News literacy levels can be used to predict civic engagement and vice versa.
The program looks for young professionals (between 23 and 30 years old) who desire to have a social impact through their job and actions. We believe that the youth can make the change.
