Students from the Mcast Institute for Art and Design recently produced material on internet safety, which in turn was presented to Children’s Commissioner Helen D’Amato.
The students produced an activity book aimed at five- to seven-year-olds, comic book aimed at eight- to 11-year-olds, an animated cartoon aimed at 11- to 15-year-olds and a video clip aimed at teenagers aged between 16 and 18. The students were asked to produce this material as part of their study units.
The Commissioner for Children will be sharing this material with other stakeholders. Some of these resources will be used as part of the ‘Be smart online!’ awareness campaign, which is co-funded by the EU.
The Office of the Commissioner for Children is one of the partners of this project together with the Directorate for Educational Services, Appoġġ, the Police Force, the Directorate for Catholic Schools and the Malta Communications Authority.
