Better Internet for Kids

20 per cent of teenagers and adolescents spend more than four hours a day on their phones or social media. How much screen time is still “okay,” and when does it become a risk for screen addiction?

DigiStories: Alex is an educational video game that opens up the topic of healthy habits in the online environment. This game was published in October 2023 by One World in Schools, a division of the Czech organization People in Need. One World in Schools is also a part of Czech Safer Internet Centre.
Through an interactive conversation on the fictional social network DigiStories, students can learn about the signs and consequences of problematic behaviors related to the excessive use of digital technologies, in this case in the form of playing an online game.

The lesson plan aims to address the issue of managing online time effectively among students in eighth grade of primary school and high school/technical school. Over 45 minutes, students will engage in activities and discussions designed to foster an understanding of the importance of managing their time spent online.

"Dopamine" is an educational film for young people devoted to the conscious and safe use of social media. The film touches on important topics such as the mechanism of the dopamine loop, profiling and toxic online relationships, while avoiding a one-sided narrative about the harmfulness of new technologies. In the narrative layer of the film we hear: "This is not a film about the Internet being bad. It's about us controlling the technology, not the technology controlling us.”
