Quit Fighting for Likes
Created: 23/09/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
A national campaign to support young people to safely navigate social media and prevent violence has been launched.
Quit Fighting For Likes aims to get young people to think about and discuss attitudes and behaviours around the filming and sharing of violent incidents.
Developed by the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit (SVRU), YouthLink Scotland and Medics Against Violence (MAV) the new campaign and resources features a short awareness-raising animation, illustrating the digital world where this content can take place and showing an alternative route to switch off from it. A set of memes has also been produced covering a range of messages about why filming and sharing fights is damaging.
Young people helped develop the campaign through focus groups and feedback sessions involving various schools and youth groups.
The campaign has been launched as the first annual progress report for Scotland’s Violence Prevention Framework was published – highlighting progress made to help cut violent crime and reduce the harm it causes.
The practitioner resources contained within the toolkit are designed to be used in schools and in youth groups by anyone working alongside young people. Each activity has step by step guidance on how to run the activity effectively.
