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.

Who actually spreads fake news and conspiracy ideologies? How do you detect them and what should you do about it? The brochure by klicksafe informs parents and other interested parties about deliberately misleading and false news on the net. The info cards included in the brochure provide an overview of the topic of false news and can be used in discussions with children and young people.

There's an accompanying checklist for families available.

Sextoooh is a pedagogical tool focusing on the issue of sexting and gender stereotypes. These stereotypes are not so much about sexual orientation, but rather about how girls and boys (and everyone else) are differently judged when they are involved in sexting situations and how they deal with it.

The educational aim is not limited to a simple presentation of the risks and consequences of sexting. Indeed, we are interested in the (sometimes stereotypical) behavior of young people in such situations.

In February 2020 Empowering Children Foundation inaugurated new social campaign called "Home Screen Rules". Its aim was to make parents aware of the problem of abuse of screen devices by themselves, children and adolescents. The campaign drew attention to the negative impact of the excess of screens on family relationships and health - brain development in the youngest, vision and sleep quality.
