Crianças e Riscos Online / Conferência EU Kids Online 2

Numa altura em que muito se fala dos riscos de crianças e jovens na internet em tom alarmista, o conhecimento real destas situações baseia-se frequentemente em casos isolados. Pais, professores e comunidade dividem-se entre a utilidade escolar e social dos meios digitais para os jovens e os perigos que aqueles lhes podem trazer.

No dia 4 de Fevereiro de 2010, o projecto EU Kids Online apresenta e discute publicamente os resultados do primeiro inquérito representativo a 1000 crianças e jovens (com 9 a 16 anos) portugueses, e um dos seus pais, sobre riscos e segurança na internet, integrado num estudo europeu a 25 países.

Os primeiros resultados demonstraram que Portugal é um dos países com menor incidência de riscos online entre crianças e jovens entre os países europeus inquiridos, considerando riscos como contacto com imagens de cariz sexual, bullying, encontro com desconhecidos ou conteúdos nocivos.

Nesta conferência, que acontece dias antes do Dia da Internet Segura, a equipa portuguesa do EU Kids Online pretende apresentar em pormenor os resultados deste inquérito. Consulte aqui o programa provisório.

A conferência destina-se ainda a envolver na discussão todos os agentes interessados no tema da segurança de crianças e jovens na internet, entre pais, professores, técnicos de acção social, académicos, entre outros. A conferência é gratuita, mas solicitamos a sua inscrição para uma melhor organização.

Crianças Nordestinas (Brasil) / Pensando a infância do ponto de vista da antropologia

(chamada para artigos)
Organizadoras: Emilene Sousa & Flávia Pires

Car@ Colega,

Depois de coordenar e participar de vários GT e ST em diversos eventos científicos nacionais que discutem a temática da antropologia da infância e da criança, detectamos uma carência em publicações de estudos antropológicos realizados com crianças Nordestinas. Ao mesmo tempo, descobrimos várias pesquisas em andamento ou recentemente concluídas que atestam a vitalidade do tema.
Gostaríamos, então, de convidá-lo a submeter um artigo para compor o livro CRIANÇAS NORDESTINAS, uma coletânea de artigos antropológicos. É preciso que o artigo problematize o que é ser criança no Nordeste, a partir de recortes locais: crianças indígenas, crianças urbanas, crianças camponesas, etc, com foco no trabalho de campo e na etnografia.

Especificações do artigo: Times New Roman, espaço 2, margens 2,5 (direita, esquerda, inferior, superior); 20-30 laudas; Prazo: Dezembro 2010.
Esperando poder contar com a sua valiosa contribuição,

Emilene Sousa (UFMA) & Flávia Pires (UFPB)

Um diagnóstico sobre a violação de direitos e a atual situação de crianças e adolescentes indígenas apontam que há diferenças de visão sobre o que é considerado violência e agressão contra as crianças.

LSE Research: Opportunities and Risks for Children Online

Interview with researchers



With 65% of Europeans now online (source: ITU, 19/10/10), what effect is this having on children? What type of material are children exposed to through the internet? How do online risks compare to offline risks?

Funded by the EC's Safer Internet Programme, Professor Sonia Livingstone, head of LSE's department of Media and Communications, led a survey of 23,420 children and their parents in 23 European countries to systematically investigate the opportunities and the risks children are exposed to online. Their results are published in the EU Kids Online report, Risks and Safety on the Internet, available at:

The rights of the child in the context of migration (report)

Study of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on challenges and best practices in the implementation of the international framework for the protection of the rights of the child in the context of migration.

Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education: An International Journal

DIME is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal focused on critical discourse and research in diaspora, indigenous, and minority education – is dedicated to researching cultural sustainability in a world increasingly consolidating under national, transnational, and global organizations. It aims to draw attention to, and learn from, the many initiatives being conducted around the globe in support of diaspora, indigenous, and minority education, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

DIME invites research from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives that emphasize the centrality of marginal voices and a peripheral gaze, and which draw attention to the complex interrelations between political, economic, historical, and social contexts, as well as the ways in which these various contexts shape educational policies, practices, curricula, and outcomes. The journal welcomes articles that ground theoretical reflections in specific empirical research and case studies of diverse locations and peoples as yet underrepresented within scholarly research and literature, as well as action or participatory research studies of exemplary or “best” practices.

Children's Voices. Experiences and Perceptions of European Children on Drug and Alcohol Issues

Report: http://www.crin.org/docs/ChildrenVoices.pdf

The purpose of this paper is to give meaning and insight into some of the key drug and alcohol issues that affect children from the perspectives of the children themselves. It is not to estimate the relative magnitude of a specific drug or alcohol problem or the numbers of children affected by it. Each section of this paper will be preceded by one or two key statistics and whilst the quotations that follow may highlight a need to develop more robust and detailed statistics on a key issue, the overriding objective is to give the children a voice.
