Cyber Awareness for Children

Cyber Awareness for Children

As part of its CSR, Sigmatak has been running film making competitions for children aged 11-16 to help promote internet safety.

Sigmatak has been running film competitions in the past years to help promote internet safety for children. These competitions invited 11-16 year olds to create short films to highlight the dangers of internet use and the measures that may be taken for a safer online experience.

The themes that we encouraged children to explore in their films include:

Privacy

  • What is Privacy and why does it matter?
  • Are we giving away our right to privacy when we go online?
  • What can we do to maintain personal privacy whilst enjoying the benefits of the internet?

Stranger Danger

  • Is it okay for children to chat to strangers online?
  • What are the dangers and how may these be avoided?
