Digital Citizenship Project Intro Film: The project promotional film begins with a display of the participating countries, featuring the official project logo,EU logo, and partner institutions’ logos. The video uses engaging visuals to highlight the negative consequences of digital tool misuse, aligning with the project’s objective. Focusing on the perception of being a good digital citizen, it emphasizes keywords like cyberbullying, rumors, discredit, and insults to underline the project’s goals. The film concludes with visuals that evoke a sense of a safer environment achieved through conscious internet use and proper digital citizenship.
As online communication surpasses face-to-face interactions, the necessity of being a good digital citizen—acting within the bounds of rights, law, and ethics in the virtual world – becomes imperative. A good digital citizen can critique responsibly, understand the ethical consequences of online behavior, refrain from abusing technology, and promote ethical conduct in digital interactions.
