The workshop represents a continuation of the partnership between Crnogorski Telekom and the Parents Association, which began last year with a conference #ClickSaDjecom, dedicated to preserving the developmental potential of children in the digital age. Parental education has been recognized as one of the most effective ways to ensure children have a healthy relationship with technology and avoid potential risks.
Statistical data further confirms the urgency of the problem – according to research conducted by the Agency for Electronic Media and the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, children aged 9 to 17 spend up to 9 hours a day in front of a screen during weekdays, and even more on weekends. Statistics leave no room for doubt that responsible internet use is an imperative of modern parenting. As support, Crnogorski Telekom also offers a solution - Magenta judgment, which enables parental control, internet content management and online safety.
Let's click together for a safer internet and let's create a digital environment in which children can grow, learn, and develop in a healthy and responsible way.
