Safe Social Media: Counteracting violence and revealing potential threats on the Internet

<< Objectives >>We aim to start 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.<< Implementation >>In the first stage of the project, we will conduct a detailed analysis of the most urgent cyberspace dangers using our joint experience and international research. Then we will present our findings completed with practical defence techniques against online threats in the form of a handbook for youth 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.<< Results >>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. We 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.
