Young people often know more about the Internet and mobile phones than their parents and teachers. But are you using the Internet safely? Is your media usage under control? Media skills, namely the safe and responsible use of media, are important. This also includes making young people aware of and able to correctly assess the dangers. Swisscom offers support to young people, parents and teachers with its services aimed at developing and imparting media skills.
