Young Scot launches a new programme of support with free resources for schools

The new Infowise programme provides young people with tools and resources to build their confidence in information literacy.

Young Scot's InfoWise programme helps schools and youth groups ensure that young people have the skills to challenge misinformation, access reliable, accurate and understandable information and understand their key digital rights.

The right to quality-assured and accurate information is a fundamental digital literacy right of young people. With the emerging and evolving artificial intelligence technology, it is more important than ever that young people are supported in developing information literacy skills. 

The programme delivery is tailored to each individual school to ensure that the way that it is implemented suits their requirements. The main features of the programme are:

• Dedicated 1-to-1 support with developing a plan suited to the individual school

• Support for practitioners to put their work with the programme towards continuing professional development

• Support with delivery one-off online or in-person delivery of workshops to S1 pupils by a Young Scot member of staff

• Access to a bank of free resources to use at any time
