Teen Presidential Election Forum

Grades 6-12

Join us on an open forum about the 2020 Presidential Election.

Join us on Zoom for an open discussion on the 2020 Presidential election. The election has dominated news coverage over the last few months, and teens have been exposed to the information through a variety of sources. Unlike adults, most teens get news through social media accounts rather than traditional news sources. Our discussion will highlight the pros and cons of news gathered through platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat.

Our discussion will be oriented towards teens who would like to learn more about the election. Specifically:

• How social media is being used to influence people's opinions regarding the candidates
• How to spot fake or misleading information 
• Where to go for unbiased information about the candidate's platforms 

At the end, we will have an open discussion to talk about the election, the candidates and other general questions. 
This discussion will be monitored, as we want an open and honest discussion about the 2020 election from the teens' perspective. All views and opinions will be respected. The discussion is meant to raise questions and provoke thought about the upcoming election. Moderators will be there to keep the discussion flowing but also polite and respectful.
