dut-debataThe last debate was held at the State University in Tetovo on April 23, and it was attended by 90 students from law studies and computer science studies at this university.

These debates enabled students to discuss, develop critical thinking, talk about the positive and negative sides of social media and the internet in general, to hear different ideas and opinions about the use of social media, and to be educated about this new media.

During the events, Metamorphosis conducted a mini survey on the views and opinions of students on using the internet and the social media, what they think about online privacy, whether they are careful with what they share on the social networks, whether they use the social media for civic activism and promotion, what they think about the censorship of these media etc.

The results from the mini survey will soon be published, indicating the views of the respondents on these issues.
