\u2018I Am\nDigital\u2019, the online safety educational campaign by Save the Children and\nFacebook, drew to a close earlier in March. The month-long campaign was\ndesigned to help educate and empower Pacific Island teenagers and young people\nto have safer and more positive online experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Developed by Pacific\nyouth, for the Pacific youth, the campaign resources will continue to remain\navailable on their respective countries\u2019 \u2018I Am Digital\u2019 Facebook pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The archive\ncontains the most significant and up-to-date educational materials in the South\nPacific for youths and adults to address the increasingly concerning issues of\nonline behaviour, risks and abuse that have become ever more relevant as\ninternet usage rapidly increases across the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This impressive\ncollection includes close to 400 original educational materials in the form of\nfactsheets, social media posts, tips and highlight videos, much of which was customised\nto the respective languages and cultures in English, Fijian i-Taukei, Fiji\nHindi, Tok Pisin, Samoan and Tongan. Resources provided by the culturally\nrenowned campaign \u2018influencers\u2019 also form this expansive online archive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Particularly\nimportant are the factsheets that can assist youths facing a crisis by\nproviding critical contact details to proper local support organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the\ncampaign\u2019s primary target was young people, parents and teachers are also\nencouraged to view the materials to gain greater understanding and to provide\nbetter guidance to young people in their care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shairana Ali,\nCEO of Save the Children Fiji, shared that, \u201cHere in the islands, social\nmedia has opened up incredible access for our youth to content from across the\nglobe. But it is harder to find international content that has been developed\nfor Pacific Islanders, by Pacific Islanders<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re\nconfident that these educational materials will open ways not only for young\npeople but also for adults to be far better internet users and to practice\nonline safety more effectively<\/em>,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Facebook pages\ncontinue to be monitored as \u2018I Am Digital\u2019 prepares to extend to other Pacific\nisland nations later in 2021 with a strong possibility of expanding its current\ntopics and material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To view this impressive\nonline archive, visit the following \u2018I Am Digital\u2019 Facebook pages below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FBandSCiamdigitalpac<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FBandSCiamdigital.fiji<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FBandSCiamdigital.papuanewguinea<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FBandSCiamdigital.samoa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FBandSCiamdigital.tonga<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For\nmore information, please contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fiji\/Samoa\/Tonga:\nSofaia.Koroitanoa@savethechildren.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Papua\nNew Guinea: askim@savethechildren.org.au<\/a> or\ncatherine.bedford@savethechildren.org.au<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -ENDS-<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2018I Am Digital\u2019, the online safety educational campaign by Save the Children and Facebook, drew to a close earlier in March.
