|
In order to actively engage youth in the Safer Internet cause and this year's theme on 'Connecting Generations' a video competition has been planned and implemented so as to empower young people to 'learn by doing'.
Description
On 25th of October 2011 a circular was sent to all schools in Cyprus, inviting them to participate to the SID 2012 video competition. The competition was organized from CPI, CNTI, CYTA and PCCPWC and was addressing all schools of Cyprus. The requirements of the competition were that a team of 3 students and one teacher prepare a 3 minute video with a topic "Connecting Generations: Discover the Digital World Together…Safely!" The consortium received a total of 50 videos and the best 10 videos were presented on the SID2012 conference. The teams of the 3 winning videos received one i-pad, kind offer of CYTA to the competition. One i-pad was given to each child from each of the three teams. The competition was a success and the Consortium considers planning more competitions for the years to come that can have a direct impact on children. All fifty videos as well as the information regarding the competition can be found at: Cyprus Pedagogical Institute
