Safe Social Media:
Counteracting Violence and revealing potential threats on Internet
The virtual world is changing dynamically, which is why we want to simultaneously teach current methods and techniques for safe use of the Internet, as well as pass on universal rules that will allow young people to be safe online.
The project aims to shaping an educational framework for digital critical skills’ literacy in the youth sector for EU citizens by
creating a transnational learning space, containing accessible and coherent knowledge. Our actions will result in better
universal abilities for protecting against harmful content online. Due to the diverse profile of the partners, we will ensure that
our work is versatile, exhaustive and relevant, and that it supports live-long learning and exchange of best practices.
In the first stage of the project, partners will conduct a detailed analysis of the most urgent cyberspace dangers using our joint
experience and international research. Then we will present the findings completed with practical defence techniques
against online threats in the form of a handbook for youth and educators. We will also prepare and implement an educational and
promotional social media campaign directed to the young with compelling and accessible knowledge on staying safe on
social media.
Objectives
- exchange best practices between organisations active in teaching digital critical skills focusing on methodologies,
conditions and content of digital literacy in youth education;
- exchange best practices regarding developing and implementing educational prevention programs against harmful
content on the web;
- contribute to efforts in increasing competencies of low-skilled youth on digital skills’ literacy, that is, providing them with
accessible training on how to improve their competences in the matter;
- identify and develop a strategy around future European funding and new opportunities to develop an international,
standardised program improving critical skills in the use of digital technologies by the youth;
- promote collaboration of project consortium with other stakeholders such as local municipalities, corporations, youth
organisations, etc. and increase their impact on the beneficiaries.
The project’s results will be introduced to the general audience and professional educators to be used in two ways
- to deepen personal knowledge and
- to improve the quality of digital critical skills’ education.
Partners wish to have an impact in areas such as social media safety, fake news awareness and avoidance of e-violence. The main aim of the project is to promote the best principles of teaching technological competences, staying safe online and encouraging constructive virtual communication.
