Myth vs Reality: A Practical PSHE Toolkit

Your Rights Online
The educational material "Your Rights Online" deals with children's rights on the internet and is aimed at school librarians and school counselors, as well as children and young people (age 10-16). The material can be linked to the Swedish curriculum and therefore also be used by, or together with teachers. The material contains: the Convention on the Rights of the Child, GDPR, algorithms, and information on where to find help and support.
What are media?
This study includes interviews with just over 80 children and young people aged 9–16. The purpose of the study was to strengthen the reliability and validity of “Children & Media” (our study conducted every other year on children's media use during their free time). The study is also part of our work to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child within the Agency's area of operation.
The interview guide covers four overarching themes regarding news, social media, influencers, and computer gaming.
