In order to strengthen polite and supportive behaviour online, this year, Samsung School has launched a project competition for the 9 th-12 th class students “Latvian Youth Label”. Teachers are also offered video lectures and worksheets that can be used in learning hours to talk about a variety of topics - copyright, media literacy, safe and ethical communication on the Internet.
“We are increasingly talking about two realities Online and Offline, but both are part of our lives. It is very important that we feel good, safe, belong to them. That is why this year we are talking to young people about politeness, responsibility, support in digital communication, or in other words, a non-label,“ says Samsung School for the future in the Baltic egle Tamelite, adding: “best things can be done, so that year we call on young people themselves to think about digital behaviour and create a vision of basic principles that are considered essential in their online life.”
The project can be submitted in one of the following categories: privacy and security; e-communication ticket at school (communication with classmates, teachers); copyright; digital behaviour (digital mobbing, media literacy, media literacy). You can prepare jobs by using different forms of expression – typed text, infographic, photo, animations, audio or video etc. More information on the tender, the works to be provided and their format, submission and evaluation shall be found at: www.skolanakotnei.lv Deadline for submission: 15 December.
“To make it easier to make projects, we have also created a six-lesson course complemented by working pages. They cover topics closely related to non-label directions: copyright, media literacy, security and privacy and the basic principles of e-communication. We call on teachers to use materials in the learning process as well as pupils themselves to look and learn something new," E.Tamelite emphasizes.
It should be recalled that 73% Latvian youth recognise that their behaviour in the digital environment differs from the presence of behaviours, according to the survey conducted by Samsung School. A significantly higher number of young people consume unlicensed content online, unsolicited other private space, use fictional identity, offline doing so significantly less frequently. The survey data show that Latvian young people live online according to other social and moral rules than offline.
