The ABCs of the Web: Chase Helps Develop an Online Campaign for Media Wise
There is no doubt that we are all online. With our technological devices, we easily navigate the virtual jungle. But that sense of ease is not a reality for many people of all ages—especially not for children and young people. And so, a campaign has emerged focused on providing proper guidance in the digital world.

Digital Gaps and Pitfalls

From search engines to self-driving cars and artificial intelligence, the digital world offers many opportunities to explore and learn. But knowing how to use technology—or recognizing potential risks—is not always clear. Children and young people, in particular, have gaps in their knowledge and are highly vulnerable to pitfalls. A post, photo, or video on social media can carry significant risks, because not everything you see or read online is true. That’s why it’s crucial to provide these age groups with proper support.

Inclusion is also important, as many vulnerable young people feel their digital skills are limited. With the rapid technological advancements in our society, they must not be left behind. But how do you ensure that everyone can navigate the online world?

Managing Online Learning

Young people often need some guidance, which is why we focus on youth care providers, who are ultimately the first point of contact. But how do you ensure that the right information reaches young people? The Chase Solution? A high-quality production featuring polished scripts and a wealth of engaging content. Ten topics—from sexting to fake news—two presenters, and numerous experts who expand on the information shared—all focused on media literacy and available on the Media Coach training platform

Connectivity

Through this online content, we offer a series of videos—useful, informative resources for youth counselors and young people to help them make significant progress on their digital journey. This way, everyone is included in the story. Connectivity isn’t just about the internet; it’s also about inclusion and knowledge.
