EVERTON STARS MARK SAFER INTERNET DAY…………….
On Safer Internet Day, Lucy Hope and Annie Wilding, stars of the Everton Women’s senior team, visited Holy Trinity Primary School in Garston, where the local students educated them.
As part of Safer Internet Day, an annual event that unites people worldwide to support a better internet, Hope and Wilding received invitations from Everton in the Community, the team’s official charity, to learn more about encouraging safer and more responsible use of technology.
Students ranging in age from seven to eleven joined the Everton duo, and they conversed with the players about their experiences growing up with technology, using the internet, and creating a better online environment for everyone.
Conversely, both Hope and Wilding shared with the audience their ideas on promoting a more positive online environment as well as how they would handle harassment that occurs online.
“Hearing from the children themselves, it really opened our eyes to the role the internet plays in these kids’ lives, which only highlights how important it is that they know how to use online technology safely and correctly,” Hope stressed, highlighting the significance of the event’s message.
Today’s football players, both male and female, have a greater profile, which has benefits. Unfortunately, though, there are drawbacks as well, such harassment over the internet. While I haven’t personally experienced it, it’s certain that other football players are, and it’s wrong, that they go through this on their own profiles.
The program addressed how students used social media, offered advice on how to use it wisely, and emphasized the dangers of using the internet to propagate hate and hostility.
The Premier League Primary Stars team from Everton in the Community led the workshop. This team works in primary schools throughout the region to encourage kids to learn, be active, and acquire critical life skills.
Everton in the Community’s early intervention programs in L4 and South Sefton are made possible by financing from the Steve Morgan Foundation, which also supports the organization’s work in Speke/Garston.
Every year, Everton in the Community observes Safer Internet Day. The nonprofit organization is dedicated to promoting ethical technology use. Additionally, the school of Hope and Wilding
In addition, the UK Safer Internet Center invited the charity’s partner schools to Goodison to participate in programs.
“A key function of our Primary Stars delivery is promoting key messages to young people, to not only improve their aspirations, but to build better communities and brighter futures for our region,” said Elena Barton, program manager for the Premier League Primary Stars.
The internet continues to play a big part in daily life, which might occasionally be too much for young people to handle. In addition to teaching them how to use the internet appropriately, we must ensure that children who are growing up with technology are also supported in their online endeavors.
