DisMiss - Counter Political Disinformation
We are facing an extraordinary moment in political history: over 70 elections will take place around the world, including in the UK, giving people all over the country the ability to have their voices heard. For many, this will be their first interaction with the ballot box. What’s more, disinformation and misinformation is poised to be a major issue in the upcoming election. To empower first-time voters, Ofcom and SOUK are collaborating on this campaign to equip young people with the political literacy skills to dismiss disinformation.
BallotBound - Register To Vote & Turnout
With the General Election is coming on the 4th July, Shout Out UK is running a nationwide impartial voter registration and awareness campaign to ensure all young people are aware of what they need to do to take in our democracy.
Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE)
Shout Out UK is a modern education-driven solutions provider which utilises the skills and knowledge of media literacy to disrupt malicious actors, protect vulnerable audiences online and expose and combat extremism and radicalisation online.
London Voter Registration Week
Shout Out UK and the Greater London Authority run a yearly non-party political, impartial, non-election-specific campaign to encourage Londoners – especially under-registered and under-represented Londoners – to register to vote. In 2021 we secured 74,000 unique engagements with LVRW 2021 posts on social media, 4.7 million reached on social media, 11% increase in youth voter registration compared to the previous week, when voter registration rates fell in other areas across Britain.
Voter ID Awareness
The Elections Act (2022) brings changes to the way we vote and who can vote. Hence, We have teamed up with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and a diverse coalition of civil society organisations, education institutions and London borough electoral services to deliver an impartial public awareness campaign. The campaign aims to inform all eligible Londoners, particularly under-registered and under-represented Londoners of all backgrounds, about these unprecedented changes, most notably the introduction of mandatory photo identification in order to vote. The public awareness campaign is coordinated with the Electoral Commission and delivered by Shout Out UK.
Media Minded Podcast
Media Minded explores the bizarre world of misinformation and conspiracies. Each episode focuses on a different global event that sparked misinformation as we speak to ex-cultists, anti-vaxxers and more who describe their slow descent into the untrue, and those who experience the brunt of the lies and hatred explain the effect that the proliferation of these ideas has. Industry-leading academics and experts from across a variety of industries share their research and understanding as we attempt to find a way to tackle this growing wave of state and non-state sponsored disinformation.
