Safer internet began on Friday, February 10, 2023 and came to an end on Friday, February 24, 2023 with Sir Benjamin and Sir Sam discussing the emerging challenges with the internet. Every Friday, for three weeks, we had over 50 children in our classroom to listen and discuss with us safe ways to use the internet. On our last Friday, we engaged our audience about Human Rights and SDGs before going into our lessons. We sang some songs and played some games to be sure every child was engaged from start to finish.
During our discussion, we watched a video on YouTube and looked at Facebook Marketplace. We looked at the positives and the negatives of such a platform and how people can use it to their benefits, even as children. We were really amazed at how people in the marketplace community use the platform for scamming.
Students from Ho- A.M.E. Zion school and Baarracks School were present with our Eclectci Love students. They learned from each other and even helped us to learn from them.
We thank the parents of our children for continuing to see that their children learn in as many ways possible. We thank Ghana Education Service (GES) for their continued partnership in our activities. We thank our supporters for believing we are making a difference one day, one child at a time. To our speakers from our Safer Internet discussions, God Bless You.
