Fifth Workshop: Digital Safety for Parents
1 April 2021
15:00 - 16:30
Over the past years, 7amleh – The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media has trained thousands of Palestinian youths, children, and non-governmental organizations on digital safety. However, the Digital Safety Among Jerusalemite Children and Youth report, which was published by 7amleh in 2020, shows that around 87% of children and youth rarely or never participate in political discussions online due to fear of prosecution and surveillance by their families, communities, and the Israeli occupation. The report recommends that digital safety training courses be provided for counsellors and parents at equal footing. This session is devoted to build up the capacity of counsellors and parents on digital safety to ensure they can provide a safe and nurturing environment for their children in this world.
