Better Internet for Kids

An educational flyer for students, educators, and parents to help them realise that online gender-based violence is as important as physical violence, and in order to tackle the one we must also tackle the other.

Safer Internet Centre Czech Republic designed, produced and distributed school boards and supporting educational materials to 4.200 registered primary schools (according to the official basic school database by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports). Their goal is to alert pupils and students to possible pitfalls in the online world in a popular educational way. And if necessary, to serve as a guide for kids while seeking help.

Students from the Czech Youth Panel wrote a script and starred in a short video on the topic of Internet security. They have prepared a total of six topics based on situations that Internet users actually get into and then face unpleasant consequences:

• identity theft,
• sexual harassment,
• sharing all activities with the public,
• sharing of personal data,
• sharing unverified information,
• insult and humiliation.

The aim of the short video is to point out the absurdity of the behavior of some people in the online space.

The resource is comprised of a video called 'Home truths' which shows multiple offenders in a family home, talking to a child in an inappropriate way, in order to open parents' eyes to the potential dangers of their child being online and that this abuse could be happening right under their nose. This is a hard-hitting and impactful visual representation of the kind of abuse the IWF sees on a daily basis.
The resource is also a downloadable PDF which includes the TALK checklist, TALK stands for;
Talk- start talking to your child about online sexual abuse

Since many years, chainletters are a challenge for rather young whatsApp users in Austria. These chainletters threaten with monsters sleeping under the bed, having the kids parents die or being hunted by ghosts. But they alsosuggest that nobody likes them, if they don't get chainletters themselves in WhatsApp. Chainletters in WhatsApp is usually ignored by surrounding adults, because it is such an old phenomen. Therefore kids feel alone with their lacking competence to judge the content. The chainletters cannot be procecuted by law, since it is never clear who is the author originally.

The cyberbullying kit consists of three parts and is suitable for individuals with intellectual disabilities aged 12 and older. It is aimed at carers and other professionals who want to raise awareness on this issue.

Not all rules from face-to-face teaching can be easily transferred to distance learning - this can lead to problems. With the poster "Our rules for video chat", klicksafe wants to help make digital lessons more positive. Since every class has its individual needs, we have only pre-formulated the three most important rules. Further rules can be negotiated and formulated individually in class discussions. This guarantees that the rules really address the existing problems.

We also created a background image for video chats showing the three rules.
