Description

Working with teens to co-design a porn literacy program that mitigates harm. This project aims to engage teens (aged 12-17) in co-designing an age-appropriate response to online pornography. Significantly, it will use teens’ perspectives to help young people critically interrogate porn, reducing the risks porn may pose, including when minors copy what they see. Such risks can harm teens emotionally, physically, legally and/or financially. Teens' proposed responses will also be trialled with teachers and parents, helping support informed inter-generational conversations about porn. Co-design will ensure that expected outcomes are teen-led and respond to young people's existing knowledge. The project will benefit teens, families and society while also addressing current concerns about sexual and gender-based violence.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4702 - Cultural Studies.
