"For democracy and diversity!"Discover good online offers on the day of children's websites
Children's websites are diverse: you can find videos that explain the German parliamentary elections or climate change in a child-friendly way, as well as stories to make children laugh or recipes for colorful birthday cakes. For all their diversity, good children's websites have one thing in common: an appreciative tone that takes children seriously. Children's websites are also places where children learn about democracy. They provide children with neutral information so that they can form their own opinions. They offer children opportunities to help shape content and discuss it with other children. Here, children practise objectivity in disputes and respect for other opinions.
However, the children's website landscape in Germany has also been complaining about underfunding for years. According to the initiators of the Day of Children's Websites, the lack of planning security endangers the diversity of websites for children. As a result, valuable offerings are disappearing from the web. Yet a diverse, independent children's website landscape is more important than ever. Because if children are strengthened in their development now, they can also stand up for democracy and diversity later as adults.
