How did you do on the internet today? The initiative to accompany young people in digital spaces

Boys, girls and youth inhabit the social spaces of the internet, such as social networks, video games, streaming platforms, etc., creating their identity and community territories, where a good part of their socialization and communication happens. That is why the campaign aims to provide quality adult accompaniment in digital spaces, from the awareness of the educational, emotional and care needs of children and young people.

“We believe it is necessary for families, teachers and adults in general to say present and put their bodies together to support, guide and take care of boys and girls in their transit through these spaces, in which they not only spend more and more time, but also in those who increasingly put more aspects of their life into play “explained Ezequiel Passeron, institutional director of Faro Digital.

This initiative includes, on the one hand, a digital media campaign with advice on how to accompany children and youth on the internet. On the other hand, it includes an open and free training session, on November 22 and 23, in which four virtual workshops will be offered on the following topics:

  • Screens and childhoods: tips for each family to know how to monitor the use of screens in early childhood and childhood: quantity and quality of screens, types of devices, adult reference, risk prevention and how to address access to inappropriate information.
  • Digital Coexistence: everything we need to know about grooming and cyberbullying: definitions, prevention strategies, case management and complaints.
  • Screens and Teens: advice to accompany adolescents in the main challenges that screens present at this age: dependence, sexualities in digital environments, adult reference and emotional impact.
  • Digital gender violence: what are the ways in which gender violence appears in digital environments, what elements of the Internet modify or enhance them and what are the tools to make visible, prevent, monitor and report cases.

Finally, a round table will be formed with the presence of Juliana Raffaghelli, Argentine academic specialist in educational technology, algorithms and open data culture, and members of each of the organizations, where they will speak and work on dataification and the different intersections between artificial intelligence, algorithms, learning machines and how this impacts our lives (from identities and relationships, to the fulfillment of human rights).
