Tipperary students promote important message about online safety
Training and support made available by the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel
Two students from Loreto Secondary School Clonmel were among more than 140 students from across Ireland who took part in the Webwise Safer Internet Day (SID) Ambassador Training Programme.
The peer-led programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to lead their own online safety awareness-raising campaign in their schools and local communities.
Loreto Clonmel students Emily Nei Han Fan and Amna Anees attended the in-person training day in Dublin, where they received training and support from the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel.
The theme for Safer Internet Day, which took place on February 7, was “Promoting respectful, inclusive online communication” and was aimed at empowering young people to build positive and inclusive online communities.
The Webwise Safer Internet Day Ambassador Training Programme gives students around the country the opportunity to take a leading role in promoting a safer, better internet and tackle issues that are important to them including online bullying, wellbeing and privacy online.
