The digital consensus is an agreement between parents who have children in the same class / year group / school or other groups where parents work together. The digital consensus is about parents agreeing on common standards when it comes to their children's secure online and media usage.
The digital consensus is a poster with blank boxes where parents can write their criteria for the agreement and at the end the parents agree to follow the agreement by signing the poster.
Parents receive additional material with ideas for guidelines for safe online and media usage. They can put items from the additional material in the blank boxes on the poster or create their own criteria.
The aim of the digital consensus is to strengthen the dialogue between parents and the power to coordinate, for the benefit of the children. Through the conversation, parents also learn from each other, can take advantage of each other's skills, and this reduces the insecurity that many parents mention as an obstacle when guiding their children in the online world.
This project helps parents prepare their children to be good digital citizens in the future.
