Wales: Crossing Borders
New web technologies today allow us to create and share content, communicate with others, participate in online activities and share our knowledge, skills and creativity very easily. These technologies provide unprecedented opportunities for learning and development across all communities. They allow us to truly Cross Borders - personally, locally, nationally and internationally. As Internet access becomes more pervasive across countries, there will be greater communication and sharing, and this can help create better understanding across cultures and people. WISE KIDS believes in the need for Internet access for everyone regardless of their socio-economic background. We also believe very strongly in the need for programmes of education that ensure that Internet literacy, proficiency and safety becomes key skills that every child acquires. Equally importantly, WISE KIDS believes in the need for pro-active programmes of education that show our young people and other communities how to maximise opportunities that new technologies can present. Only then would we have succeeded in truly crossing all our borders, and allowing individuals, communities and businesses to become co-creators in this knowledge ecomony.
Thanks to the InSafe team for excellent work!
