In today’s polycrisis, politics weighs heavily on citizens, and social media and AI-generated content inflate crisis narratives. How can we protect our mental wellbeing without disconnecting from the political world? And how do our everyday coping strategies influence democratic engagement and political attitudes?
Join us for an open, interdisciplinary conversation about well-being, digital media, and democratic resilience. Bringing together researchers and practitioners from civic education, political communication, psychology, and digital literacy, we will discuss how to help people stay engaged and stay well.
