Hihimayin sa serye ang kapangyarihan ng ‘youth vote’, pagpili ng huwarang kandidato, pagtuligsa sa fake news at shitstorming, pag-oorganisa, at iba pang huhubog sa kritikal na pag-iisip ng mga mamamayang Filipino.

James Jimenez, propesor at kilalang public historian na si Prof. Charleston ‘Xiao’ Chua, University of the East Professor Lyndon Dale Chang, Vote Pilipinas Project Head Ces Rondario, Young Filipino Advocates of Critical Thinking Secretary-General Danica Bergamo, at mga student-volunteer na sina Kyle Sordevilla at Mardilyn Garcia.

Ilang mga isyung haharapin ng mga bisita ang kahandaan ng Comelec sa darating na halalan, partisipasyon ng mga kabataan sa halalan, politikal na kasaysayan ng Filipinas, misinformation, disinformation, responsible social media usage, mobilisasyon at organisasyon ng mga kabataan sa komunidad, at ang mga dahilan kung bakit puwede at dapat na maging choosy.

Asahan ding sasagutin ang maiinit na tanong ng daan-daang mga mag-aaral mula Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao na aktibong sumusuri sa kasalukuyang kalagayan ng Filipinas sa gitna ng pandemya.

Libre at bukás para sa lahat ang online event na ito at maaaring mapanood sa Facebook page ng The Philippine Online Student Tambayan at Pinas Forward PH.
