Digital Identity & Privacy
Explore how to protect personal information, manage our digital footprint and understand how our online activity can shape our reputation and influence future education, career and business opportunities.
FIRST TO SIXTH YEAR · YEAR 8 TO YEAR 14
Engaging, conversational workshops that help teenagers think critically about their digital lives and make safer, healthier, more informed choices online.
Our approach
Sessions are highly interactive and delivered in a conversational, engaging format that encourages young people to participate, reflect and think critically about their digital lives. We explore online risks, responsible digital behaviour and the real-world impact of the choices we make online.
The aim is to equip young people with the awareness, critical thinking skills and practical tools they need to become confident, responsible digital citizens.
What we cover
Each workshop is tailored to the year group in front of us, drawing on these core themes.
Explore how to protect personal information, manage our digital footprint and understand how our online activity can shape our reputation and influence future education, career and business opportunities.
Examine how social media and digital platforms use sophisticated algorithms to maximise our attention, and explore the impact this can have on our habits, focus and overall mental wellbeing.
Explore how healthy boundaries around screen time, regular breaks and good sleep habits can support better focus, mental wellbeing and a healthier relationship with technology.
Explore how AI works and how relying on it may influence the way we think, learn, create and solve problems. Discover how to use AI without outsourcing thinking, and build the critical thinking to question, evaluate and verify AI-generated information.
Explore how friendships and relationships develop online, from genuine connection to the risks of interacting with people we may not fully know or trust. Learn to recognise warning signs such as manipulation, deception and unhealthy pressure.
Sharpen critical thinking to navigate the digital landscape: spotting artificial social media content and fake news, and evaluating online sources.
Explore the responsibilities that come with communicating online and why it can encourage behaviour we wouldn't consider face-to-face. Examine cyberbullying, trolling, harassment and harmful content, their impact, and when online behaviour crosses legal boundaries.
