Better Internet for Kids

During the course of primary school, the independent and competent use of digital devices such as a mobile phone becomes increasingly important. There are countless opportunities to integrate current Safer Internet topics into lessons - be it in the form of a computer station during free work, a discussion on a current topic or the design of a poster. Every activity, every discussion, every project carried out by teachers is important and useful.

As a firefighter, you are part of a large community where the "we" is more important than the "I". Therefore, keep in mind: You have a role model function, also on your private social media profiles, and what you communicate and spread publicly will also reflect on your fire brigade. This informative flyer offers tips and information for fire brigade members on their own responsible online presence.

Young people are intensively concerned with their own image management, with how they are perceived by others. Social networks such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram in particular, but also messengers such as WhatsApp and Snapchat, provide a stage for this. However, the self-portrayal of young people on the Internet is not always only positive. By emulating seemingly unattainable role models, feelings of inferiority and envy can also arise. Cyber bullying is also not atypical in this context.

The aim is to provide suggestions for conscious living in the area of tension between digitization and climate. It is important to know the connections between digitalization and climate and to be able to assess the consequences of one's own decisions and actions.

Haptic models for the book ON-LINE ZOO are mainly used by visually impaired and blind children, so that they can see the characters from the book and imagine them better. The models were designed by Prusa Research according to the illustrations in the book. It tried to preserve the distinctive drawing style of Achmed Abdel-Salam, who artistically rendered the book. This resulted in a total of 7 characters that relate to individual stories from the book, namely the director of the zoo, a monkey, a panda, an antelope, a lion, a giraffe and a penguin.
