Project description

Almost half of Europe's population uses social media on a daily basis and that is not only talking about children, but above all about adults.

There is a social responsibility proper to everyone that is the result of a civil education that has been imparted to us since childhood. This education brings value to society by triggering a virtuous circle because it develops positive relationships and personal and professional opportunities. We all refer to written rules or understandings that help us to define and develop good human relationships in everyday life. Today, however, there is a wide new environment in which we live: online!

The objective of the Click Clever is to test innovative actions aimed at developing critical thinking on social communication, increasing users' awareness of the truthfulness of online information and, at the same time, promoting a more responsible use of the Internet by helping to make the Web a better world to live in for all.

To this end, the project intends to create a range of innovative Social Education tools.

Social Education is the development of cognitive, social, civic and creative skills that allow citizens to access the Internet through a respectful and critical thinking approach. Ability to help citizens participate more actively in the economic, social and cultural aspects of society and to play an active role in the democratic process.

Social media, therefore, should be characterized by online user responsibility and a respectful attitude towards other citizens having different opinions. Social Education represents a solution to provide strategies to promote user responsibility and create a digital culture

·         Promoting communication and relationship education among adults on the internet and on social media by discouraging the actions of adult cyber-bulls.
