Denmark: Cyberhus
- Anni Marquard, Project Manager, Cyberhus.dk
www.Cyberhus.dk is a Danish online community for young people that offers a wide range of activities.
Kids and teens with social or emotional problems can get in touch with a pedagogically trained counsellor and receive professional counselling. We offer 100 per cent anonymity to every child or teenager who contacts us.
Our vision is to create a solidary socio-pedagogical community on the Internet in which we offer free anonymous counselling, as well as inclusive and collective activities for exposed and socially challenged children and teenagers
We find it very important that children and teens get to play an active role in Cyberhus. Therefore we have chosen to appoint kids who are very active on the site as book critics, web editors or writers, etc. We call them The CyberActive and they run their own weblogs where they write about things that interest kids and teens today.
Kids and teens may also enjoy a lot of cheerful activities in Cyberhus:
They can search our library and find new book titles, read and write film reviews in our Film Workshop, write messages in the forum and do lots an lots of other things that make it easier and a little more fun to be a kid or a teen today.
For Safer Internet Day we have worked on the theme “Power of the Image” where a group of young people have been taken pictures and put them on our website. Look at their work here : http://www.cyberhus.dk/site/14844.htm
