Growing up in a Digital Society: Search for Values in the Lives of Children and Young People in Germany and Europe
Presentation of the findings of the European study EU Kids Online and discussion about the socio-political implications in a joint event of the State Media Authority of Rhineland-Palatinate (LMK) and the Hans Bredow Institute, Tuesday, December, 7th, 2010, at the British Embassy in Berlin, Wilhelmstraße 70, 10117 Berlin
Which role has internet in every day life of children and young people? What experiences young people are exposed to in the online world – and how is their search for values influenced by internet and online media? In a unique pan-European survey more than 23.000 children and young people at the age of nine to 16 from 25 European States as well as at least one single parent were interviewed on their behaviour in the online world. The results give an interesting insight in the “online life” of children and young people in Germany and across Europe.
In Berlin, this valuable European study and its findings werde presented and the socio-political implications of children and young people 2.0 werde discussed.
