As part of the build up to Safer Internet Day 2008 (12th February), O2 is sponsoring a competition for young people who have produced multimedia projects asking whether the internet is a positive or negative element in today’s world.
Since October 2007, young people in 28 countries have been working on several exciting multimedia projects, illustrating their positive and negative online experiences. Registration for the competition closed on the 20th January.
You are invited to vote online for short-listed projects in each of the three prize categories: 5-10 years, 11-14 years and 15-19 years. Winning entries will be showcased on the Safer Internet Day competition website on the 12th of February 2008.
To view the entries and vote for your favourite, visit, www.o2.com/saferinternetday.
See what we can do to protect our children
O2 is committed to protecting the vulnerable, especially children. Visit O2 UK's new child protection website to read more. We’ve included practical advice on all aspects of child protection and mobiles, from text bullying to harmful web content.
O2 has partnered with Childnet International, a leading organisation in child internet safety and the Personal Finance Education Group (pfeg) to produce a short film on mobiles and child protection. The film focuses on the dilemma many parents face, balancing parental preferences against children’s needs. What are the concerns of parents? What is O2 doing? Where can I get help and advice?
Watch the film in our Film and Podcasts section.
