Better Internet for Kids

The video shows the risky situations children could get into if they use too internet too much, but it also teaches them to seek help and guidance from parents, teachers, closed relatives or specialists.

The Roblox Checklist provides all the information about the online multiplayer game creation platform while giving you quick answers to questions such as:

What is Roblox?
How to report abuse in game?
How do block users in-game?
How to add a PIN to your account?
Where can I go for further support?
What is Robux?

The leaflet was created by SWGfL and the UK Safer Internet Centre in collaboration with Roblox.

These resources were created by Childnet, a UK Safer Internet Centre partner, during lockdown in April 2020. Since the team couldn't deliver sessions directly to children, they created these easy-to-follow videos that parents and carers can do at home with their children.

Media Literacy is important also in the early childhood education. We can see the influence and the importance of media in every child group: how they play, what they talk, how they are dressed and with the toys they play. There is a core curriculum for early childhood education (ECEC) in Finland that describes media education as one important part of the comprehensive education.

Plans help to develop a more systematic media education and to make future actions and needs more predictable. It is possible to include media education in current plans or design a totally new one. KAVI has created a guide to start this process. The guide consists of questions that help to figure out what kind of aspects should be considered while planning the development of media literacy.

Media Education is an important part of actions also in libraries. National Audiovisual Institute (KAVI) organised a communication campaign for the general libraries in Finland. Articles shared for the library staff and general public were also collected in one publication mailed to all libraries. This brochure is in Finnish but the main aspects of the campaign can be found in English from the public BIK portal.

The teaching material is aimed at pupils from the fifth grade upwards and comprises ten teaching units in which children and young people learn a critical and responsible use of the Internet. The units are based on ten selected videos from ZDFtivi's "App+on" offer (ZDFtivi is the children and youth programme of the public broadcaster ZDF). Among other things, these deal with false beauty ideals on Instagram, the dangers of fake news or the repetition of gender clichés in online profiles.

Together with het CCV (centre for crimeprevention and safety) we created an escaperoom-suitcase. The game is intented for children between 12 and 21 years old. It's a digital game in which young kids solve puzzles to prevent the characters in the game to become victims. Teachers can rent or buy the suitcase for their students.

A guide for all recources, helplines, institutes in the Netherlands with a program for prevention or response to incidents regarding sexting for teachers.

We noted that many teachers in the Netherlands didn't know what to do or what recources to use when it comes to sexting and online sexual abuse. Together with the government and school institutes we created a task force to compile all recources and organised them in two pdf-guides: one for primary education, and one for secondary education.
