What kids do online - SID 2010

Sweden 02/02/2010

Children and youth’s activities and creativities on the Internet are in focus in a unique collaboration between leading organisations in Sweden during Safer Internet Day. Schools, organisations, corporations, authorities, media are among those invited to participate. The purpose of Safer Internet Day is to create a dialogue between children, youths and adults about children and youths’ activities on the Internet and what their social life looks like online.

 
Coordinating national activities
The Swedish Media Council is coordinating national stakeholders who are planning activities on SID 2010 in order to make the campaign more efficient, as well as managing our own activities. Joint efforts include a common program for SID, use of SID logo and Think B4 U post video clip on the web and other channels for distribution, dissemination of the Insafe quiz to schools and others, joint press activities, and possibly a joint debate article (under progress). The main partners are:
 
  • Surfalugnt.se
  • Ungdomsstyrelsen (Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs)
  • Fryshusets nätvandrare (Web Coaches)
  • BRIS (the Swedish helpline)
  • SE (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation)
 
Some of the activities on Safer Internet Day 2010:
 
The Swedish Media Council’s activities:
- Digital Tourist
Digital Tourist is a conference organized by the Swedish Media Council in cooperation with the Swedish Ministry of Culture. The participating adults – the tourists - will learn what children and young people - the digital natives - do online. The program includes seminars, panel discussions and a unique workshop section with five stations, where the adults are guided by youths hands on showing and explaining what they do online.
 
- School play and teachers’ kit
Premiere of the school play Where is the undo-button!!! (Var finns ångerknappen!!!) and accompanying teachers’ material for use in middle schools. The interactive play together with a teachers’ guide, exercises and other materials, are initiated by the Swedish Media Council and aims at spurring discussion on Internet safety in schools. The play will tour the country during 2010 and 2011.
 


- Films for youth about online vs. offline behavior
In an attempt to communicate the safer Internet message directly to youth, the Swedish Media Council has produced three animated films about Eddie, an impulsive teenage boy who tries out typical online behaviour in the physical world. The films are 30 seconds long and aim to spur reflection on why most people act differently online than offline. Eddie can be found on the Council’s Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/medieradet), and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/eddieirl) .
