Working on digital rights, well-being and skills
As a center of expertise, we develop and supply tools for professionals who work with children and young people. We want to reach, inform and activate children and young people in the field of children’s rights in relation to their digital live. These tools ensure that they can give their opinion and feedback about their digital lives. We also allow young people to use our tools themselves. As an internship employee and/or freelancer, they make children aware of their digital rights at schools, in libraries and/or in community centers.
Our Digital Child Rights tools
Rights
Firstly, we are sharing our accessible and child-friendly content toolkit on digital children’s rights, packaged in ten colourful themes with forty topics.
Play
We always start with our Play tools, which teach children and young people about digital rights. Playing makes it easier for them to reflect on their digital lives.
Talk
Our Talk is a tool with a questionnaire that can be used to listen to the personal digital lives, problems and wishes of children and young people.
Check
Our Check is a tool with a questionnaire that gives children and young people insight into the status of digital life in their neighborhood.
Panel
Our Panel is a tool that allows professionals and policymakers to form a structured Panel with anonymous insights on our platform.
Lab
We’ve developed a toolkit of Connection Challenges. In our Lab, children and young people create prototypes in a Digital-Child-Rights-by-Design process.
Our target groups
We focus primarily on children and young people between the ages of 10 and 18. It is important that they are aware of their rights and obligations in the digital world. At this age stage, children become increasingly independent based on their developing abilities. In this phase, parents and carers often no longer know which positive, but especially also negative, online experiences children and young people have. We want to reach young people between the ages of 18 and 30 by giving them an active role in our local Connection Desk programs.
Our program
Ultimately, we give young people (18-30 years old) internships and (side) jobs to work on our programs for children and young people (10-18 years old) In each area, we develop a multi-year program together with local government, civil society, children and young people themselves, using the various tools in each phase.
