Young people who attend school outside the UK are busy preparing their short films for the first ever Childnet Film Competition International category.
Entries for the UK competition may have closed on June 1st, but pupils at non-UK schools still have a week remaining to join in the fun!
The International category is fun, free and open to young people, aged 7-18, with Monday 14th June the closing date for submissions.
The challenge is to create a short film, no longer than two minutes, reflecting a positive message on this year’s theme: Separating fact from fiction. Finding trustworthy information online.
With the creation of the International category, overseas schools can boost their profile, inspire creativity and help your pupils stay safe online.
Will Gardner, CEO of Childnet and a Director of the UK Safer Internet Centre, believes the International category is another great opportunity for young people to play their part in helping to create a safer and more trustworthy internet.
He said: “The Childnet Film Competition International category provides a platform for young people living around the world to show their creative talents, learn about online safety, and inspire their peers to make positive decisions online.
“Entering before June 14th – as a school, class or group – is a fantastic way to help to educate others, and empower young people to be better able to harness and use the positive power of the internet for good.”
