MEDIA LITERACY AND WELLBEING IN THE AGE OF AI
The Take Two Media Initiative (TTMI) is dedicated to enhancing media literacy and and media wellbeing in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). We provide comprehensive educational programs that empower K-12 learning communities on how to engage with media responsibly.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to empower students to take charge of their own mental health by fostering media literacy, self-agency, and resilience. In response to the escalating mental health crisis fueled by social media and technology addiction, we aim to equip students with the essential skills to navigate life’s challenges while reducing their dependence on harmful platforms. Through community-based initiatives, supported by parents and educators, we strive to create a foundation for lifelong well-being, enabling students to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Together, we can create a future where students not only survive but flourish beyond the reach of social media's addictive pull.
Media Lab and Ambassador Program:
By age 18, 88% of young adults regularly get news from social media, yet more than half of US middle-schoolers cannot distinguish advertising from real news, or fact from fiction.
Creating an informed public capable of community, civic and democratic engagement starts with educating our youth to take responsibility for the content they create, share and consume.
Our Media Labs as read about on the Gothamist and NPR, our labs aims to harness the potential of high school and college aged youth by providing them with comprehensive training in media literacy, wellbeing and artificial intelligence (AI) awareness. Through this program, participants will not only become adept at critically analyzing media content but also proficient in delivering engaging talks and workshops on these topics to their peers, parents, and educators in order to effect change.
Our talks and programs have proven to help people understanding of the pitfalls of AI and the mechanics of social media. They also help school communities make plans and agreements for how and when to introcude smart phones and social media to kids.
