Youth Empowerment
Incorporation of age-appropriate youth empowerment activities into the classroom curriculum provides a means for students to make a difference in the
lives of others. They engage in captivating activities and projects to spread their knowledge and understanding about the responsibilities of safe
online travel throughout their schools.
Examples of cooperative learning activities from the i-SAFE Curriculum Lessons include students creating and displaying posters, producing public
service announcements, or distributing original brochures about Internet safety.
These projects, activities, and peer-to-peer communication provide the bridge between the Education and Outreach Components of i-SAFE, as students are
provided with the means and support to produce larger activities and events within their communities.
