Webinar #5: Using Tik Tok to Engage Young People in Child Protection in Finland: The Sossut Project
Using TikTok to Engage Young People in Child Protection in Finland: The Sossut Project Click to watch (a new window will open) Presenters: Camilla Jokela, Social and Emergency Services, Soite, Finland and Maija Haapala, Pesäpuu, Finland. Camilla and Maija are social workers in Finland who use Tik Tok to address child protection and children’s rights in a way that takes children and young people’s own media as a starting point. The TiKTok Sossut project seeks to ‘translate’ the practical language of child protection practice and policy for young people. The project also addresses misinformation in child protection as practitioners can’t talk about cases due to confidentiality. This project won a major Finnish government award in September 2023.
