Parallel session: Educating for online safety

Presentation title: Employee voluntary scheme of TP Group - effects and plans for the future

Since 2005 the Orange Foundation, together with TP, supervises the Education with Internet programme. The programme’s aim is to promote the Internet as educational tool and to raise young Internet users’ awareness of safe exploration of the e-content. Voluntary work of the TP Group employees is a vital part of the Orange Foundation activities. In 2008, in cooperation with other organisations, the Foundation invited the TP Group volunteers to run workshops for classes 1-3 of primary schools. During the project, children learnt the most important rules on safe use of the Internet. Up to date, about 5,800 pupils and 66 teachers have been trained in the project owing to the volunteers’ commitment. The chance to promote knowledge on safe Internet use among children even further has arisen when the Orange Foundation signed an agreement with Microsoft, in which the two companies decided to share and exchange their educational materials. In the future, the Foundation plans to issue new teaching aids for the volunteers.
