Coping with the challenge of children using emerging technologies
The INSAFE network, in cooperation with the Irish Awareness Centre NCTE, will host the INHOPE / INSAFE Western Regional Meeting in Dublin, Ireland, on 5-6 July 2010. During two days high-profile actors in online safety issues will focus on "Coping with the challenge of children using emerging technologies".
This meeting will bring together a coalition of stakeholders from Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands and United Kingdom to gain a better understanding of the risks and benefits posed by emerging technologies and to consider effective ways to engage with younger users.
Awareness Centres, Helplines and Hotlines with the help of international and national police forces, government representatives, child protection agencies and internet industry experts, will discuss the possibilities of working more collaboratively and efficiently together as a region, and the ways to facilitate the exchange of information and best practices.
With more than 50 participants registered, the meeting promises to show the way forward in protecting young users as they discover the remarkable opportunities that online technology offers.
