Better Internet for Kids

The report Kids and media 2025 describes media habits and attitudes toward media among children aged 9–18. The focus is on media use during a “typical day” in their free time, and it is the children themselves who answer the questions.

The audiovisual lesson, The Dark Side of AI, is based on a 10-minute video addressing risks such as deepfake calls, fraudulent videos, deepnudes, and forming relationships with AI chatbots and digital personas. 

Through expert commentary and real-life examples, the video encourages discussion about digital safety, critical thinking, and the value of real human relationships, as well as empathy and the courage to speak up when something feels wrong. 

From 19-30 May, the ninth annual Media Literacy Weeks took place, during which 473 schools and other institutions in the Czech Republic and Slovakia focused on media literacy.
