The Internet has touched many aspects of society in the modern era. More so, it has revolutionized the way people interact with each other. With the Internet becoming more accessible than before, more people are depending on it to make their lives easier.

However, easier Internet access also introduces some challenges to society. For the youth, one of the challenges to Internet access is ensuring safety from malicious sites. It facilitates instant communication — a key avenue for cyberbullying and harassment.

Google and the Teach Peace, Build Peace movement are aware of the rising cases in cyberbullying and harassment. That is why they partnered together to launch the “Cyberpeace: Creating a peaceful internet together” campaign. The campaign aims to educate safety etiquette and responsibility on cyberspace to the youth.

Teaching peace together

With the campaign, Google will mobilize YouTube vloggers, teachers, employees, and volunteers to various public and private high schools across the Philippines. They will teach high school students on using the Internet in a more responsible and safer way. Google’s Be Internet Awesome will serve as the curriculum for these educational teach-ins.

Google’s curriculum will tackle key issues in cyber safety. It will focus on online reputation, critical thinking to fight scams and misinformation, privacy and security, cyberbullying, and reporting inappropriate online behaviors. Plus, it will also tackle catfishing and cancel culture — specific issues arising from social media.

It launched on February 11 with San Francisco High School in Quezon City as the pilot school. The campaign will proceed to other high schools in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

“Through the Cyberpeace campaign, we hope not to only help Filipino families stay safer online but provide a springboard for a shared, nationwide commitment to a more peaceful internet, at the heart of a vibrant digital economy for all Filipinos,” said Bernadette Nacario, country director of Google Philippines.

Cultivating a peaceful cyberspace

The need to educate the youth on digital citizenship is important as the Philippines has the highest number of households using digital technologies. The total figure tallies at 71 percent. Meanwhile, 85 percent of the family surveyed in the Philippines worry about their child being exposed to inappropriate content online.

Google’s campaign answers the need for educating youth about cyber safety and digital responsibility. It goes along with other tools from the company such as 2-step verification, Family Link, SafeSearch, and YouTube Kids.

At the end of day, however, it is best for families to teach their child about proper and safe browsing. Proper education goes a long way in ensuring responsible and informed digital citizens. After all, the Internet is a powerful resource that entails great responsibility to those who use it.
