Hyderabad: Instagram, in association with the Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC), on Monday announced a new edition of their flagship youth programme – the Counter Speech Fellowship – in Hyderabad. In its sixth year now, the programme will engage young people on topics that matter to them and encourage them to lead conversations about them online.

The Counter Speech Fellowship engages teenagers to use the power of visual storytelling to start meaningful conversations on issues that are important to young citizens around the world. It is built around the idea of using art for positive expression and advocacy and is designed as an incubator for the future generation of leaders and activists. The 2022 fellowship will focus on four themes: Gender Equality, Diversity, Bullying, and Mental Wellbeing.
