Einführung in den Bericht

Welcome to another edition of the Dispatch! This month, we would like to bring your attention to a subject that is current and relevant to you and every member of TakingITGlobal: online safety and security. As the youngest citizens of our world, we are particularly good at maneuvering and interacting online. Despite our familiarity with the Web, we are not exempt from being a target of those who use the Internet as a tool for harm. In our Featured Theme, we'll introduce you to the issues and give you tips on how to protect your computer and more importantly, yourself. :)

Keep safe and sound, and have a great month wherever you are!

In Freundschaft,

Das TakingITGlobal Team

Thema des Monats: Online-Sicherheit und -Schutz

The Internet has changed the way we live our lives forever. Now, every "cyber citizen" must become "cyber smart" – or face the consequences. From protecting your computer to protecting yourself, it's all here in our theme on Online Safety and Security. Downloading, cyber bullies, copyrights, file sharing, cyber predators, phishing scams, and a lot more. Do you know what you need to know? Hier klicken!

Sprache als Gewalt, Gewalt als Sprache

TakingITGlobal in partnership with UNESCO and the support of the Salesforce.com Foundation is developing a range of initiatives around the theme Language as Violence, Violence as Language including:
  • Eine Online-Kunstsammlung
    Young people participated in a range of vibrant workshops and training sessions, facilitated by local partners, and then worked on producing photographs. Images have been gathered with partners in a range of cities, and were then uploaded to the collection.
  • Ein kreatives Magazin (In Zusammenarbeit mit UNESCO)
    The creative magazine will be presented at the UNESCO Youth Forum and then produced by the end of 2005.
  • Ein kurzes Multimedia-Video
    This multimedia video will encapsulate the content presented at the UNESCO Youth Forum and will then be available for download: klick hier.
Diese Initiativen zielen darauf, junge Leute eine Diskussion der mannigfältigen Erscheinungsformen der Gewalt, die sie in ihrem täglichen Umfeld antreffen, empfangen oder ausüben, miteinander zu diskutieren. Am wichtigsten dabei ist die aktive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema und die Entwicklung von Alternativsprachen zur Gewalt. Hier klicken.


Panorama aktuelles Thema: Cyber Staatsbürger

Wie sollen wir uns in einer solchen Gmeinschaft verhalten? Welche neuen Gelegenheiten ergeben sich? Wie köne wir uns vor Streitereien schützen?

We invite you to contribute to the subject by writing about any of the topics covered in our Featured Theme this October and November - themes/onlinesafety - or by writing an article based on your own experience navigating the unpredictable place that is the World Wide Web.

Global Gallery Contest "Virtual Citizenship, Real Safety

The Internet is a place to explore, a mode of communication, a source of information. Many people find and thrive along the information highway, rounding its curves and linkages. Others find a venue for expression and nodes to give voice to their opinions and creative thoughts. The web emerges as a place of interwoven connection and opportunity, but also a place of hidden dangers. This month the Global Gallery explores the concept of Online Safety and Security through a poster contest. We want you to create a poster on any of the following topics, or come up with your own idea.

Mögliche Themen enthalten:
  • Geistiges Eigentum
  • Diebstahl der Identität
  • Cyber Citizenship
  • Cyber Predators and Bullying
  • Onlinesicherheit: Schütze Deinen Computer
Posters submitted by October 31, will be eligible for showcasing at the World Summit on the Information Society in November, and viewed by thousands of people! The contest will remain open until November 31.
