The objective “is to help young Portuguese people to navigate safely in a progressively more complex digital world, and at the same time, who have sufficient capacity and knowledge to positively influence the digital community”.
The social network points out that, “in this particular moment of the pandemic, when young people are increasingly online, the resources of ‘Get Digital’ were designed to be used by both young people, parents and educators, whether in home or in the classroom “.
The resources of this program are based on five pillars: Digital foundations; Digital well-being; Digital interaction; Digital emancipation; and Digital opportunities.
“The five pillars are distributed in a module with three distinct parts: educators, parents and young people”, adds Facebook, referring that “this holistic approach allows the message of online safety to be present both at home and in the classroom” .
“While educators have access to 37 lessons to present to students aged 11 to 18, parents can access five videos that suggest how to interact with their children on these topics, and finally, young people themselves have a series of examples positive impact on the online community, as well as exercises and activities “, explains the social network.
The ‘Get Digital’ program was developed in cooperation with organizations such as the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Youth and Media, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, the Greater Good Science Center, Teaching Tolerance, International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and National PTA.
