Algorithms increasingly influence what we see, read and pay attention to, while our personal data is collected and used in ways that are often difficult to understand. For young people growing up online, this can affect privacy, wellbeing and their sense of control.

Working with Tactical Tech, we combine screenings of iHuman with hands-on games, open discussion and participatory workshops in schools and educational settings. Students explore how platforms collect personal data, how algorithms shape content and behaviour, and why this matters beyond the individual.

The project avoids lectures and easy answers. Instead, it gives young people the knowledge and confidence to question the systems they use every day, make more informed choices and protect their autonomy online.
