A one-day Children in Wales course

Young people today live in two worlds; the real and virtual world. Keeping up with the development of technology and understanding young people’s use of multimedia can be a daunting prospect, especially when you are not native to the digital era. With 200 million websites and one trillion webpages on the Internet it can also be difficult to monitor and protect children from inappropriate and harmful content. Multimedia and developments in technology have many positive benefits to the social and academic development of children. However, the risks children have faced throughout the ages have also evolved with the growth of new technology. Reports of cyber bullying have perpetuated over the past few years, with around 30% of young people aged 11-16 having experienced some form of cyber bullying, and can be difficult to challenge and address when it arises.

This course aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and understanding of multimedia, explore young people’s usage of technology, and define what cyber bullying is and what it looks like.

Course outcomes:

– Identifying trends in media use
– Exploring and understanding the nature of cyber bullying
– Identifying vulnerable groups and build resilience
– Promoting E-safety and safeguarding children online
