The Role of Education in the Age of Social Media

We live in increasingly polarised societies. Whatever the issue, both ’sides’ tend to see the other as the disease, and themselves as the cure. In this talk, Dr Calum TM Nicholson, Fellow at Danube Institute argues that this polarisation is itself merely symptomatic of the pathological business model which underpins social media. He then proposes that the real ‘cure’ lies not in our politics, or in technology per se, but in how we educate in the 21st century.
