Yes. The underlying framework in which this project develops is the creation of a respectful, empathetic and safe digital ecosystem, which is crucial as social media and digital networks are the new technologies for the education and environmental awareness of today and tomorrow.

The project contextualizes and translates many WSIS values to groups of non-experts, especially young people, families and educators. Translation intends to connect the policy level to the day-to-day lives of those people, showing them the relevance of critical thinking over ICT use, exceptionally regarding privacy, information, and the need for an inclusive online ecosystem for all.
