We are planning the activation of short training and information actions to promote an aware usage of IT and communication technologies among young people, families and schools. This type of project is closely related to the need to promote measures to combat school drop-out and support the use of new information technologies and responsible access to the Internet.
The aim, of course, is not to deprive, limit or increase fears but to promote a conscious, safe usage of the web in order to increase digital skills, seize the opportunities offered and train the future digital citizens of tomorrow.
We are sure that teachers and parents will appreciate a lot this kind of training because they will be provided of important tools to face such problems.

If young people are aware about the risks and dangers but also the opportuinities provided by the usage of internet, they will for sure improve the quality of their life, pretending respect and preserving themselves from web crimes.

Our association cooperates wih a team of IT experts, psychologists, lawyers who have got a wide experience in this field. Moreover we will have the support of teachers and headmasters to realise the project.
