The Mightifier digital tool will help you to learn social skills and build a safe learning environment. It has been developed together with Finnish teachers and pupils, and is available for free as part of the Empathy Package! Mightifier was built by a multidisciplinary team of class teachers, psychologists and positive pedagogy experts.

We asked more than 400 teachers about their views on online bullying directed at children and youngsters. We wanted to find out how teachers try to tackle online bullying. Teachers wanted more information and tools to prevent online bullying. Recognizing harassment and bullying and reacting to them in the proper way are critical to the wellbeing of schools, pupils and staff alike. If you come across harassment on the social media, contact your immediate superior without delay. Remember to save the incident with a screenshot, for example. If anyone’s health or life is threatened, you must report this to the police.

As an interactive educational path, digital adventure takes pupils on a trip where they learn about empathy online, as part of the Empathy Package!

Most children get their first mobile phone during the first years of primary school. They have a lot of possibilities and skills to use smart devices and the internet, but are they able to use them safely and responsibly? As a solution, we have created a free mobile game in Finnish and Swedish that introduces children to the vocabulary and phenomena related to digital literacy and e-safety. The game can be downloaded onto the school’s shared devices and played with children as part of learning digital literacy and e-safety skills.

Stop, Slow & Go – #OnlineRoadSafety

The same way we teach children about traffic rules and road safety, it is also important to teach them how to navigate the digital traffic safely and with consideration of others. The #OnlineRoadSafety traffic light model helps children to learn what is permitted, what is forbidden, and which situations require you to slow down when using digital medias.

Stop, Slow & Go is a digital safety material package, produced by Protect Children, aimed at 5–6 and 7–9-year-olds. You can use the materials to go over digital safety themes with your class in a fun and easy way. The material package includes e.g. a general guide for teachers, digital safety skills materials for different ages, a traffic light poster and instructions for a music lesson.
