Internet Power Project
In June 2003, WISE KIDS was awarded a European Social Risk Grant
to deliver a 5 to 6 day “Internet Power” training program to
selected groups from Pembrokeshire and Cardiff. To this end,
WISE KIDS worked with Learning Pembrokeshire and MEWN Cymru
(Minority Ethnic Women’s Network) respectively to deliver this
training to interested participants from their network, or
membership.
The aim of the Internet Power project was to provide
participants with training on Internet safety issues, Internet
proficiency and Positive Internet use in order that they may use
the Internet more safely, efficiently and positively. Training
on positive Internet use covers resources and tools to encourage
online personal and community development, for example, setting
up email discussion groups, websites, blogs and hot lists. The
project was completed by the 21st of November, with three
groups from Pembrokeshire and one group from MEWN Cymru having
completed their training.

Stories Project
In December 2003, WISE KIDS received a second award of £10,000 from the European

The aim of the project was to
work directly and primarily with young people (16 to 20 year
olds), by developing a program of training that used ICT as a
means to improve their skills, create confidence, as well as to
create awareness of Internet Safety issues and tools available
to them on the Internet that can help them to contribute to
their communities.
