The documentary, The Social Dilemma, rang the alarm bells about the detrimental effects of living in our digital world. Technology’s promise to keep us connected has given rise to a host of unintended consequences that are catching up with us. The current COVID-19 pandemic is adding to the complexity of the problems with online learning and social distancing. LookUp, a fast-growing nonprofit, is committed to providing opportunities for Gen Z to create solutions to these issues and more for a healthier and more humane digital world.
Are you an activist with a desire to bring about positive change? Do you have solutions for digital overload, social isolation and loneliness? Do you want to mobilize your peers to work toward a healthier and more humane digital world? Do you have ideas about using tech for good and digital activism? We want to hear from you!
When you think of activists or advocates who are changing the world, do you think of those who are writing, blogging, and speaking as change agents? We do, and we want to share the “LookUp to Thrive” Writing Challenge with you.
In the words of Ella Katz, ThriveGlobal Editor-at-large from USC, listen to why your voice matters and how you can use your words to inspire change for a positive digital world.
