We use many digital media like phones, tablets, and laptops. This has its benefits but also its risks. We need to be careful about our safety and privacy online.To reduce these risks and still enjoy all the fun things online, it is important to learn about how to use media in healthy, responsible, and safe way. Even though we can learn about this at school, this does not promise we actually act this way when we are online.
That is why the Movez Lab explores ways to encourage young people to behave in a healthy, responsible and safe way online. Ying, researcher from the Movez Lab, does this by doing creative exercises with youth and by listening to their ideas on how to become smart, healthy, and happy media users.
