Be Internet Citizens – a National programme delivered by us, supported by Google.org and YouTube, addressed the knowledge and skills gap by deconstructing complex topics including fake news, scapegoating and emotional manipulation.
We targeted our approach towards young people living in the 25% most deprived constituencies identified in the Indices of Deprivation 2019. We delivered:
- 6 day long workshops in secondary schools to explore what it means to be a safe, responsible and positive Digital Citizen.
- 14 day long workshops and online webinars to give secondary school teachers and youth workers the knowledge and confidence to deliver Digital Citizenship sessions.
- A three day 15 event digital festival to raise awareness of digital citizenship and expand the conversation around Be Internet Citizens Content with educators and young people.
- A two week digital campaign so we could spread the Be Internet Citizens message to those who need it most.
