  • 4 in 10 children have been involved in serious situations, i.e. cyber bullying or receiving inappropriate photos from strangers.
  • 3 out of every 4 kids own a cellphone, yet a quarter of adolescents say parents know little or nothing about what they’re doing.

Digital skills make candidate aware of, how to look out, select, and streamline information and how to choose a real and authentic source of information.
