Norwich High students win Digital Awareness UK competition
A powerful video created by a team of students at Norwich High School about the pressure young people feel to share nudes, has won the GDST online safety video competition. As part of the GDST’s Online Safety Day, students were challenged to shoot and edit a video about a chosen online safety topic in just a few hours, and they certainly rose to the challenge! The videos were submitted to the GDST Content Creation Team to judge and the winning video was then selected, which was created by Annie, Hope, Fliss and Caitlin (Year 8). “We were blown away by the sheer volume of high quality content these students were able to create in such a short space of time.” Emma Robertson, CEO of Digital Awareness UK Emma continued: “The winning entry was selected because it cleverly demonstrated how young people can experience pressure to share nudes through the messaging graphics and the animations creatively showed the impact such experiences can have on your mental health. We also liked that there was a clear call to action to help viewers understand what they can do should they find themselves in a similar situation. Huge pats on the back all round!” Well done to all – a fantastic achievement!
