PROJET
TERMINÉ
Currently Social Networks and Internet are more than a tool, they have created a revolution in social connectivity. Children grow now immersed in this Information Society; they therefore embrace it in a fully natural manner, actively participating and taking the best advantage of their possibilities for communicating and socialising.
Social networks are virtual meeting places where users interact via Internet. Users themselves provide most of the content, make comments... Social nets often have forums, groups and communities. Information systems and communication over the Internet have extraordinary power.
While on-line computer exploration opens a world of possibilities for children, expanding their horizons and exposing them to different cultures and ways of life, they also can be exposed to dangers as they hit the road exploring the information highway. There are a lot of risks that the children daily face up on the Internet, as:
• Cyber-Bullying.
• Grooming.
• Sexting.
• Toxic content.
. Others.
Through this project, consortium will contribute to make available attractive and interesting material for parents related to Internet and Social Networks that allows them to prevent risks related to the use of Internet and social nets and the ways to detect problems arisen to their children.
The main aim of this project is to train parents in the use of the ways of communication brought by Information Society and the risks involved, in order to contribute to the prevention of possible risk situations brought by the use of Internet and particularly by Social Networks, which use has grown very quickly during the last years and still keep growing a lot.
In order to achieve this aim, the following specific objectives have been allocated to the project:
a) Perform a research on the involved countries on the use of Internet by young people, particularly by minors, highlighting the following:
1) Most popular websites used for communicating and sharing content.
2) Main risks arisen from the use of Internet, with particular attention to the use of social nets, and the relation between these risks and the different type of Internet websites or tools.
b) Produce a Report with the outcome of the research, per country and for the whole consortium.
c) Produce a multimedia training material including information regarding:
1) Multimedia handbook, including the use of Internet for communication.
2) Multimedia game for prevention of the main risks related to the use of Internet for communication.
d) Carry out workshops in some of the partners involved in the project, implementing the material produced.
e) Promote and improve the use of ICT in adults, in order to adapt them to the Information Society and the media.
The main outcomes of the project will be:
1) Multimedia handbook, including the use of Internet for communication.
2) Multimedia game for prevention of the main risks related to the use of Internet for communication.
The partners involved in the project will be:
- Dirección Xeral de Educación, FP e Innovación Educativa
- Asociación No al Acoso Escolar Stop Bullying
- DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY
- European Parents' Association
- Colegiul National Pedagogic "Stefan Velovan"
- INSTITUTO UNIVERSITARIO DE LISBOA
- Virtual Campus Lda
One of the main barriers to reduce the risk to children during their use of social networks and other websites is the lack of resources to train parents and teachers to know how to act. It is necessary to teach them how to become be the primary prevention agents.
The target groups of the project are as following:
Direct target group:
- Parents from countries involved in the project, and in all Europe, in order to prevent, detect and solve risks related to the matter of the project.
- Teachers who will use it implementing this material
- Stakeholders, who will have available material related to the topic of the project.
Indirect target group:
- Young people, as a final target group, whose parents have used this material, in order to support them on how to use of these resources well.
- Internet services companies.
