Being online and Being 10 years old

As part of a large WYRED project within a school in Barrowford, Manchester, a group of 30 children were facilitated to explore how they are currently interacting with the digital world. They were aged from 9-10 years and were supported by teachers and WYRED facilitators to open up the discussions. They then focused on the WYRED themes as part of their social dialogue phase.  

The social dialogues focused on themes associated with self-image and its presentation online, Internet safety and privacy as well as issues associated with digital participation.

Objectives: 
To allow for children to explore their online lives
