New Cyber Safety Campaign

ict QATAR
By ict QATAR

The internet can literally bring the world to your fingertips, but this powerful resource also brings with it some inherent risks. How can children, with their natural wonderment and curiosity, best experience these benefits safely? ictQATAR recently launched its "Keep Them Safe, Keep Them Curious" campaign to begin raising awareness about the need for parents to be involved in their child's online safety and to give some basic tips for how to help be more cyber smart.

In a newly launched commercial airing in cinemas, and on television and radio, a typical Qatari family is seen taking easy, smart steps to help keep their children safe online - all without squashing their curiosity. ictQATAR also has a series of advertisements on Doha's streets and various billboards to help raise awareness.

In the near future ictQATAR plans to watch a website dedicated to child online safety. The site will be tailored to be appealing to children, parents and teachers, with resources for each on how to be safe online.

Another skill set to be taught to our children

“terrorists rely on an endless supply of people living in extreme poverty, with no other options in life. The only chance we have to see the end of terrorism, is to end extreme poverty.”

Thanks for the explanation as their posters are very vague and unclear. I thought they were an advertisement for Apple :)
