Online Safety

This Challenging Choices performance and workshop helps young people consider the dangers and implications of a range of online apps, specifically looking at Instagram, Tiktok and Snapchat.

Jess uses the internet like everyone does – she takes photos and videos, she makes tiktoks, she posts her life daily and she lets anyone follow her accounts online, the more followers the better she thinks. When she meets Jake online she thinks nothing of it – he’s just one of her followers and he seems nice enough – but is Jake who he says he is and can his accounts be trusted?

Topics covered

This performance, delivered by a single actor, is part of a one hour / 90 minute session exploring issues around sharing personal information online, the safety and security of features like snapmaps and the potential consequences of having followers you don’t know in real life. The audience watch the performance and, afterwards, take part in discussion-based activities, led by our experienced team of actor educators who create a safe space for discussion and are able to refer young people to additional sources of support.

The workshop gives young people the chance to reflect on their own online use, by considering the choices made by a fictional character – creating a safe space for discussion and a place to find out practical tips and advice for staying safe online.

When you book this Challenging Choices workshop, your students/young people will explore:

Safe and unsafe internet use, working together to discuss and debate.

Reasons why we should be careful about what we post online.

The impact of our digital footprint, both short and long term.

Age restrictions for websites and apps, and why these are in place.

The potential impact and consequences of sharing and oversharing online.

Sources of support for if they feel unsafe in the future.

Suitable for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. We make minor adjustments to the script and change the workshop plan to suit each key stage.

Challenging Choices workshops are designed for a group of around 30-35 young people.

They all watch the performance together and then take part in the workshop, in a self-contained 60-90 minutes (depending on your timetable.)

We know that all schools and settings are different, and we can change the format, delivery length and number of workshops to meet your needs. Give us a call or pop us an email to chat through your needs.

The session can be repeated up to 6 times each day in a school.
