Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in schools and increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented
groups. Our vision is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education. The leading provider of K-12 computer science curriculum in the largest school districts in the United States, Code.org also created the annual Hour of Code campaign, which has engaged more than 15% of all students in the world.

Title Learning module: Climate Change and Southern Voices
Climate Change and Southern Voices is a learning module for multidisciplinary learning for the upper comprehensive school and for upper secondary institutions. At the core of the learning module are the global connections of complex phenomena, questions of justice, feelings and reactions caused by great challenges and turning them into action. A video project of four lessons which will be carried out as a group project brings an activeelement into the module. The students have a chance to examine the themes of sustainable development from the perspectives of both North and South and to take their own stand on the themes. The learning module is suitable, for example, for geography, biology, art and social studies classes or as a collaboration between these subjects. You can also use the
English materials for English class. The package of learning modules includes the following materials: a lesson plan,
orientation materials (presentations and related info packages, printable photo cards about the topic and their explanations, links to background materials) and instructions and examples for the video project.
Resources from Data Smart
These resources come from an existing research project and a brief description of this can
be found below taken from their website.
There are three different types of resources used as a package. They can facilitate
educational scenarios and are used for student workshops (three workshops with each
taking around 90–100 minutes to complete).
An instructional guide for pre-teens, educators and families that contains material to
support them with developing data literacies.
PowerPoint presentations for the workshops.
An open access app for Android and iOS systems (you need to contact the research team
for a code).
“Developing Personal Data Literacies in Pre-Teens” is a research project funded by the
National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII) and Fundación Ceibal. Working with
children (aged 8-12 years) in Uruguay and Australia, the aim of the program is to develop
understanding of personal data so they can better manage and protect their privacy online.
The children used an educational social media application (‘app’), FriendSend, for a period of three weeks and participated in a series of workshops designed to build these young users’ knowledge of the technical features of social media platforms and how personal data are produced and processed as a consequence of use. The Data Smart Kids program was developed in collaboration with students and teachers at participating schools through an iterative design process. We worked with Uruguayan and Australian preteens, with the aim of carrying out a study with comparative aspects, exploring how preteens’ students understand and relate to social networks and the way in which their personal data is produced and processed during their use”
Project deSHAME: Tackling online sexual harassment among young people aged 13-17
From website:
Project deSHAME II is a collaboration between Childnet (UK), Save the Children (Denmark) and UCLan (UK), co-financed by the EU. Together we aim to tackle peer-based online sexual harassment by empowering local communities to work together to increase reporting among young people. We have already completed the first stage of the project which looked at the 13-17 age group, teachers and police. The second stage of the project
started in August 2019 and focuses on supporting 9-12 year olds and parents and carers.
Project deSHAME has already launched new resources for schools, as well as for law enforcement, on addressing online sexual harassment amongst young people aged 13 – 17 years.
The ‘Step Up Speak Up’ Toolkit includes practical, scenario-based and interactive activities including lesson plans, films, workshops and assemblies. It also includes advice and guidance for school staff, police and other professionals working with children.
The teaching toolkit comprises 4 lesson plans with accompanying films, an audio story, workshops and an assembly presentation
‘Digiworld’ digital content curriculum
This content has been created for children (aged between 5-16), families and schools by Telenor Group (telecom company) in partnership with Parent Zone (UK organisation on digital parenting). See description below from website:
Fun online quizzes, a digital library full of challenges and downloadable worksheets allow children to explore at their own pace and progress through different levels depending on
their age, experience and ability. Certificates are awarded at each level to enable children to demonstrate their new understanding and to recognise their achievements.
The supporting guides help parents, carers and teachers to play and learn alongside their children and to actively support them in developing their digital understanding and resilience
