| About SiFKal - Target Group
Our main goal is to orientate the process of education
and to inform, to advice and to give ideas how to use the Internet
in a safer way. It is directed to all social agents involved in
the education tasks of the European citizens of tomorrow. Furthermore
it will be directed as well to people, who have not much experience
with Internet in their common life.
According to the above, we have selected four target
groups to whom the objectives, the products and the processes are
focused:
Parents, Teachers, Local Authorities
and Librarians.
Parents are responsible for the children's
access to Internet at home. We think that the parents need recommendations,
advice and ideas to help their children during the first steps in,
what for most parents, is a new medium.
As the nature of knowledge and warrants for
truth change fast, Teachers have the responsibility to use the Internet
in a clearly educational way, without promoting myths, and false
hopes, and apart from commercial interests.
Local Authorities and other local agencies
can take an important role in the introduction of community services
related to the use of the Internet. In fact a considerable part
of those services like digital networks are actually in charge of
the local authorities.
Librarians, in a complementary position to
the other target groups, are placed between parents, teachers and
local authorities. With the emergence of the 'hybrid library', libraries
become more concerned regarding where to get information and where
to participate in cultural activities and performances and where
to interact with others engaging in those activities.
