Awkward! Critical thinking for young rebels

Hello, rebel! Have you ever felt the need to ask uncomfortable questions, to look beyond appearances, and to think differently? This course is designed for young people who want to challenge the world intelligently, without settling for easy answers. Here, you’ll discover how to use critical thinking to analyze, understand, and create unique and bold ideas, without fear of going against the tide.

We’ll start with the basics of critical thinking: what does it really mean to think for yourself? We’ll explore logic, the ability to analyze information, and the power of asking the right questions. This course will lead you to reflect and explore what’s often taken for granted, from the news you read to the trends that shape society, up to understanding how ideas are formed and how to defend your opinions with respect and confidence.

Together, we’ll discover the value of constructive rebellion and teach you how to transform your critical spirit into a creative weapon for change. You’ll learn to recognize and break down logical errors (the famous "fallacies") in everyday discussions, distinguish facts from opinions, and verify the reliability of sources. Additionally, we’ll cover persuasive communication techniques and strategies to present your ideas clearly and powerfully, turning every debate into a growth opportunity.

Throughout the course, you’ll meet other young people like you, ready to step up and develop real projects that reflect their vision of the world and their aspirations. This course will equip you with practical tools and a community of people who, like you, don’t settle for the surface but want to make a difference. If you have the courage to think, to imagine a different world, and to believe in your ideas, then you’re ready to join us.

Don’t let the world tell you what to think: carve your own path and find your voice!
