Projects for parents, teachers and youth workers
Central questions for the preparation of the seminary by Mr John Gerardu (GER), Adviser on Legal Protection for Children and Young People, Senate for Labour, Youth and Social Affairs, Bremen
- Does media literacy supply sufficient protection against hazards and risks from the new technologies?
- How do we manage to get especially those parents to be interested in offers of media literacy who acctuallly want to know the least at all?
- How can parents be thaught media literacy who in general show deficits in the use of new media?
- Is the problematic nature of the deficinet parents a temporary problem? Are the media competent children of today going to be media competent parents of tomorrow?
- How do we cope with the increasing convergence in the media? Which (self-) control mechanism should apply? Can the supervisory authorities presently in the force be kept or should new ones be created?
- How do we cope with the increase of illegal downloads? How can we protect children and young people from criminalization?
- How are we going to handle media illiterate problematic groups such as migrants, socially deprived population stratums and probably also resistant middle class families rejecting media?
Projects with easy access
- Why is it of central importance in youth media protection to provide children and young people with an easy, age related and safe access and competent guidance to the new media especially in the age of the web 2.0 and mobile services? What does it mean for the lives and experiences of young people when the children are already "met" at the entrance to the Internet and led to pages which they like and enjoy?
- Why is it not sufficient only to train children and young people to be media literate enough to know how to handle and cope with all dangers and risks involved in the use of new media? Which further action steps and regulations are needed in addition to imparting media literacy? What does this imply for the installation of safe surfing zone in the Internet? Which role and responsibility are incumbent on the state and his executing actors, the self-control, industry and associations? What does “As much voluntary self-control as possible, as little sovereign supervision as necessary” mean in this context? What does “culture of common responsibility” mean?
- Which part do technical protective solutions play in access means for new media suitable for children? Why can those only act attendantly and not replace a strengthening of media literacy or a competent guidance by parents?
- Why is it important that good offers for children are presented child-oriented by subject and concept that children enjoy dealing with its contents? Which roles do safety, data protection, advertisement, interactivity and multi-media processes play here? Which are the advantages when children are actively involved in shaping children offers and are enabled to contribute their own child-like point of view?
- Of which significance to youth media protection is a good network of existing children sites, a financial and logistic support of new and outstanding existing providers of children sites as well as broad public relations? Which measures are necessary to gain a high acceptance with the parents of these child-oriented offers?
