Better Internet for Kids

The #TalkListenLearn campaign encourages parents to have open and regular conversations with their child about the internet. To talk to them about benefits and the risks, but also to listen to what their child has to say and to learn about their life online. To help families begin and continue conversations we have developed a topic generator tool. Simply click on the start the conversation button which will serve up a series of questions for families to discuss about how we use the internet.

The Didactic Kit developed by Generazioni Connesse is a tool aimed at all Italian schools (Kindergarten, Primary school, lower secondary school, upper secondary school), and has the purpose of framing the corpus of themes and contents that are the basis for the development of a full digital citizenship of students, through solid educational paths that intend to guide the teachers in the creation of a real digital civic education laboratory within their class.

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.

This webpage gives parents and guardians the support and confidence they need to manage screen time, spending, and access to content appropriate for each child's age.

Three videos were developed by Austrian’s helpline Rat auf Draht in order to raise awareness: It is not ok to share sexual explicit content. Young people have the right to say “No” and claim “without me”: leave us out of such behavior! These videos should encourage all young people not to suffer and ignore such behavior but stand up and tell all offenders: “Without me!”

The videos were developed for the project #besafeonline and can be found on the YouTube channel of helpline Rat auf Draht.
