partners and programmes
We work with a range of partners to create impactful global eduaction campaigns.
INS Life Skills Programme
DAUK partnered with Vodafone Foundation and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to develop 15 digital life skills courses in five languages. Aligned with UNICEF’s Life Skills and Citizenship Education Framework, the self-paced courses offer an interactive, immersive learning experience through engaging videos, quizzes and a range of learning resources. Our designers also created a series of Life Skills Characters, reflecting the refugee communities the programme serves. Featured throughout the courses and in animated videos, the characters help guide learners, bring key concepts to life and enhance engagement.
Digital Parenting Pro
DAUK created Digital Parenting Pro, one of the UK’s largest resources for parental controls and online safety settings. Available in multiple languages across different markets, the free tool helps parents navigate the digital world with confidence, offering practical guidance on how to keep children safe across more than 100 popular apps, games and devices. https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/smart-living/digital-parenting/digital-parenting-pro
Teaching for Life
In partnership with Vodafone Foundation and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), DAUK developed the Teaching for Life training programme to equip teachers working in refugee and displaced communities with the skills and confidence needed to deliver learner-centred teaching and effectively integrate technology into their practice. The programme includes an animated video series offering practical guidance on learner-centred pedagogy; lesson-planning resources; a step-by-step guide on implementing 20 pedagogical activities; and a podcast exploring diverse perspectives on learner-centred approaches.
Digital Discovery 10-part course
As ‘search’ is often the gateway for learning, the Digital Discovery programme focuses on providing students with the skills required to search for and critically assess information online. DAUK created a 10-part course containing a series of information videos providing step-by-step guidance on browsing, searching and filtering data, information and digital content.
Tech Control Part 3
The Tech Control programme continues to empower children to navigate complex online challenges safely and confidently. In response to research we conducted revealing that 56% of teenagers had seen social media influencers express misogynistic views, DAUK created a video to help young people recognise and respond to harmful online experiences, including sexual harassment and exposure to racist content.
Digital Trends Report
As part of our Tech Control campaign in partnership with HMC, we carried out some in-depth research to identify some of the biggest tech trends and challenges impacting young people in 2019. These included Sadfishing and the rise of anonymous apps amongst other things. We produced a written report and video whilst also being spokespeople for the campaign which achieved mass media coverage.
GDST Live My Digital
We partnered with Girl's Day School Trust to create a unique video series, fronted by our Founders Emma and Charlotte, to help parents and children protect themselves from critical issues such as online abuse and identity theft.
Cybercode for Families
We worked with Vodafone Group to create a series of videos for Vodafone employees showing real families have real conversations about managing some of the most challenging digital issues of our time – everything from oversharing through to digital wellbeing and scams.
Tech Control
In 2017 we worked closely with HMC to undertake research, surveying over 5,000 pupils and parents to better understand attitudes and behaviours relating to tech use. The survey results showed “Over a third (36%) of children have asked their parents to stop checking their mobile devices” along with many other shocking stats, highlighting the need for further support given to families and young people in and out of school. We used those insights to create a series of lesson plans and video resources.
Tech Control Part 2
Following the success of Tech Control in 2017, we worked with HMC to launch a series of free video and school resources to promote the safe and responsible use of technology and social media. The video we created showcased the stories of three teenagers who have lived through over-use of technology to make it work for them in exciting and successful ways, from gaming through to music production. It was promoted on social media and through awareness-raising campaigns in the media.
