Supplementary Information on 4th Call for Proposal and Project Areas
1、The proposed projects should be scalable and sustainable for effective outreach.
Successful proposals will receive seed funding from the ICSC. Existing and new projects which are impact could be considered for sustained funding. Assessment for the award of funding will be based on the merit, reach of each project and demonstration of impact.
2. More information on the project areas is provided as follows:
a. Responsible use of Internet and mobile technologies Social networking platforms encourage social interaction as well as the creation and sharing of online content.
While such platforms encourage friendship and bonding, they also present risks and dangers to the young and less discerning users. Ease of communicating via not only text, but also pictures and images on these social networking platforms, makes social networking an attractive means for young to interact with others. Pervasive use of mobile devices further encourages our young to engage in social networking activities. In this new communication sphere, our young need to understand the importance of exercising graciousness and consideration when sharing or posting information online. They need to understand
that once information is posted online, it is often beyond their ability to control how itspreads.Programmes that heighten awareness of social etiquette and consequences of participating in social networking platforms would help our young become responsible discerning digital citizens. Our young need to understand the impact of media on their personal lives and social relationships. Some of the possible ways to
promote responsible online usage include:
• Respect the privacy and views of other online users
• Refrain from participating in rum our-mongering or sharing of untruth content
• Empower youths with skills to critically evaluate information
• Understand the ethics and responsibility of creating and sharing online
content
b. Parents’ role in cyber wellness education
Youths today are likely to be savvier than their parents in navigating the Internet. This presents a new set of concerns for parents. Today’s parents feel the need to keep pace with technology so as to understand and monitor their children’s online activities. While they may understand the significant role they play in their children’s
Education, they may need support in understanding how they can positively influencetheir children’s online behaviour.Programmes for parents should address these cyber concerns and impart relevant parenting skills and tools to improve parent-child relation and communication. Participation of parents and their children in the programmers is encouraged so as to foster greater awareness for parents on the roles they can play in guiding their children to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. The programmed should also cater to parents to understand the Internet needs of children in various age groups such as the pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary students。
