Safer Internet Day 2022Fit for Democracy, Strong for Society - Join Safer Internet Day 2022!
Climate change, pandemics, radical right-wing and extremist movements - our democracy is challenged every day. How do we make our democracy strong? How do we succeed in this test in everyday digital life? How can we understand diversity as wealth and strength? How can we practice and train the fair and constructive exchange of different points of view? And what skills do children and young people in particular need for this? For the nationwide day of action on February 8, 2022, klicksafe is placing the theme "Fit for democracy, strong for society" at the center of the Safer Internet Day campaign.
Ludwigshafen/Düsseldorf, 22.11.2021 - Democracy is not a given state, but has to prove itself again and again in everyday life, to invent, to convince. Strong media competence enables strong democratic competence. For this to succeed, we must train regularly, because a weakening and weak democracy endangers diversity in our society. Children and young people in particular need skills to be able to form their opinions amid the flood of information in established media or on social media.
To strengthen democratic competence, the EU initiative klicksafe creates space for debate on numerous levels:
- For school lessons, klicksafe experts will publishnew teaching materials on the topic of democracy promotion and media literacy in 2022 . Projects and working materials for educational work will be available in advance as a compact download package at klicksafe.de/sid .
- Content and discussions will be available on social networks under the hashtags #FitForDemocracy and #SID2022 .
- All interested parties are encouraged to participate in the day of action themselves, to become active and creative and thus make themselves strong for democracy. Planned actions can be entered at klicksafe.de/sid .
Join in!
