Virtual Meeting

About Project

Social media is present in our daily life every second. As long as we are connected via technological gadgets and the internet we are close to each other. This includes that we have access to all sorts of information, we can communicate with all kinds of people, but we can also become a target for cyber crime, bullying or other kinds of threats. We have to be aware of and careful about the negative aspects and influences that can be the effect of this 24/7 accessibility. Since some of our private information is accessible to the world we are responsible for its security. Social media is full of fake and valueless information.

On November 30th, the starting signal was given for a new one with an online meeting of all those involved Erasmus + project at the IGS Maifeld in Polch. Apart from the IGS in Polch, schools from Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Turkey participated in the international project. The representatives came together via the Erasmus online platform eTwinning since they were all interested in the content of a corresponding concept. The aim of the almost two-year project is the responsible use of digital media, the protection of your own data on the Internet, and the recognition of serious information and sources in the “world wide web”.

The pupils should be enabled to confidently participate in digital communication and to help shape it. This project is of particular interest in today's world, when digital media are taking up more and more space in the everyday lives of children and young people.

In addition to virtual meetings, mutual encounters between schoolchildren and their teachers are planned, but unfortunately these trips will be postponed due to the corona pandemic. The first goal will be to create a common international logo and project webpage.
