Protecting children from online harm

Join us on Tuesday 21 May at 4.00pm – 5.00pm for the LEARN LIVE webinar ‘Protecting children from online harm’

What are the aims of this webinar?

In our session we will be taking you on a journey that explores the online world through the
eyes of a child. Starting by learning more about which websites and apps children and young
people spend most of their time on and their respective dangers. We follow this by sharing
the findings from our independent evaluations, that gives a snapshot of what teachers have
been facing and what we can do as educators to keep our children safe.

We will then explore some of the unhealthy habits and patterns young people have
developed due to their online use. To do this we will be watching real life scenarios that
young people are faced with that have been acted out by professional actors followed by
exploring the effects on school culture and society as a whole when these scenarios are left
unattended to.

As the world develops around our children, simply warning them of the dangers they face
may not be enough for them to take heed. We want to explore how experiential learning
rooted in an arts based methodology can bear the best results.

Benefits of attending
– Clarity on what dangers young people face online and on which platforms.
– Take away activities that can be used to facilitate a conversation in the classroom
with your students.
– A better understanding of experiential learning rooted in arts based methodology

Who are Diverse Voices?

Diverse Voices is a leading provider of creative approaches to education. Using our
interactive e-learning tools, teachers resources and the performing arts we inspire young
people to realise their creative potential, improve life skills and explore sensitive and
important issues.

With over 12 years of experience tackling sensitive subjects and having worked with over
100 schools delivering to over 37,000 children and young people, we are well equipped to
provide solutions that are proven in practice not just in theory. We’ve transferred our many
years of experience into projects which provide measurable outcomes in key areas linked to
the PSHE national curriculum.

We are especially keen to share our findings around topics related to Relationships and Sex
Education (RSE), online safety and the laws around consent, as young people are spending
an increasing amount of time on the internet post pandemic and need extra support around
these issues.

Covid-19 has impacted a lot of young people’s confidence in being able to
articulate and express themselves, but by using creative methods these sensitive issues can
be approached in ways that encourage students to open up and learn from a shared
experience.
