Community broadcasters have a unique and trusted relationship with their audiences, including young people in diverse communities around Australia.

We can all play a positive role in promoting the important issue of online safety.

Recent research found that almost half of teens had a negative online experience in the previous six months, and three quarters of teens wanted more online safety information delivered through trusted channels.

This webinar aims to provide broadcasters with a better understanding of:

  • Some of the key online safety issues impacting on young people around Australia.
  • What you can do to encourage young people to take action if they’re experiencing issues with online safety.
  • The suite of new online safety resources that have been developed by the CBAA which you can use to promote a safer online experience for young people.

Bridging the Digital Divide: Utilising technology to promote social connectedness and civic engagement amongst marginalised young people

Abstract
The growth of the internet and related technologies such as mobile phones, digital film and photography in the last decade has seen a substantial shift in the way young people communicate and share information. The role that information and communication technologies (ICT) may play and the impact they may have on the mental health and wellbeing of young people is not well understood and there are gaps in the evidence base surrounding the efficacy of mental health promotion and prevention initiatives that utilise technology. The Bridging the Digital Divide Project examines the potential use of ICT to promote social connectedness and civic engagement in young people experiencing marginalisation. This paper provides an overview of the project rationale and presents preliminary research that explores the barriers and enablers to implementing an ICT based project designed to promote civic engagement and social connectedness with young people experiencing marginalisation.
