PantallasAmigas is an independent initiative founded by EDEX in 2004. Itcame about out of necessity as a way to incorporate communicationtechnologies into the education and intervention strategies regardingchildren and adolescents. EDEX (www.edex.es) is a Non Profit Organizationwith an experience of 35 years promoting and protecting children andadolescents. At the time of its creation, there were many significantpossibilities online for minors, but also many challenges to face, as theInternet was becoming more and more relevant in countries such asCanada, the USA, the UK, and Australia.

PantallasAmigas counts on support from Integral de Medios consultants whohave wide and varied experience with the integration of communicationtechnologies in education, which gives PantallasAmigas an importanttechnology backing.

Therefore PantallasAmigas has emerged from the opportunities thatcommunication technologies offer to minors, and the necessity that thoseminors develop in a complete and safe way.

Fr iend ly : being positive and favourably disposed Screens: referring to different types of media outlets (the Internet,

Safe Use: avoiding risks and reducing their consequences Hea l thy Use: in the sense of physical, mental and social well-being,

both individual and collective, based on the WHO definition.

In 2009 the slogan was broadened to include: For Respons ib le D ig i ta lC i t izensh ip

Respons ib le D ig i ta l C i t izensh ip : the Internet opens up differentmethods of online socialising, where those who surf should do soresponsibly leading the way. Developing complete citizencompetencies, universal values and skills for new digital playing

When carrying out their work, PantallasAmigas has kept to their hallmarks:

Since 2004, the development and evolution in the objectives and methodsused by PantallasAmigas has been continuous, which has been necessary in

order to reach their goals. They always put emphasis on aspects which needsuch a level of development, and work on strategies which can be taken onboard by other people and assigned immediately onto other imminentchallenges. This is shown by the different resources and activities put inplace and the dates when they were carried out.

Generally speaking, an emphasis has been put on the following naturallyoccurring phases:

- Informing and raising awareness- Prevention (action and resources)- Involvement (protocol design)- Influencing public policy- Repercussions in supply and demand of services

In this section there aresome specific initiatives (involving the participation of children and youngpeople):

Alumnado de Secundaria (Secondary School Students) (15 years old) isformed by PantallasAmigas with key questions regarding the safe use of theInternet and using adequate methodologies. This is in order to transfer thesame skills on to not only primary school students (10 years old), but also

adults; maybe from the same school, other schools, or a non-related area.

5 important positive points come together: The benefits of the diverse aspects that the methodology of Learning

and Support Service (school curriculum + social change intervention).Values, knowledge, and competencies for a better society.

Take advantage of the enrichment of education, of which thestudents will produce when the cybermanagers teach other minors.

Reduce the digital breach between generations, when cybermanagersteach adults.

Contribute by overcoming some of the challenges that minors facewith the safe and healthy use of communication technologies

Its innovative, scalable and can be extended to other types of peopleand activities in the same field, such as online distance learning orassistance.
