Implementation of the ICT Principles 2016 3 ICT Coalition for Children Online A key part of the OranGe Better Internet for Kids (BIK) proGramme since October 2014 is the #SuperCoders initiative. Our aim is to enable children to make the best of the diGital world and to empower parents to take charGe. Beyond addressinG the issues of accessibility and inclusion, the OranGe BIK proGramme aims to encourage a safe and responsible use of the Internet, and promotes the development of a positive use of the Internet (social and family links, dedicated content and services, education, creativity and participation) by children. OranGe Group’s #SuperCoders proGramme introduces codinG to children aged 9 to 13. Since its first introduction in four European countries in 2014, by the end of 2016, the proGramme had reached more than 6.000 children in 17 European and African countries1. #SuperCoders offers a simple, fun and educational insiGht into how enrichinG and creative the diGital world can be. The aim is to increase children’s understandinG of the diGital world, to encourage their active participation and creativity, to foster buddinG professional ambitions and to promote social inclusion, helpinG disadvantaged Groups, rural communities and fosterinG parity between Girls and boys. http://supercoders.oranGe.com/en/home Children participatinG in our free, fun workshops are invited to desiGn Games and short animations using Scratch software and to proGramme small Robots like Thymio (https://www.thymio.orG/en:thymio). In some workshops, children also have the opportunity to share their creations with children from other countries throuGh live video eXchanGes. The workshops aim both to train children to think loGically and to teach them to work in teams. In addition, some workshops also offer children (and separately, their parents) awareness sessions on safe and responsible use of the Internet. See here for a taste of what the children Get out of the sessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcPz5il1LG 1 BelGium, Botswana, Cameroon, EGypt, France, India, Italy, Ivory Coast, Mali, Moldova, Morocco, NiGer, Poland, Romania, Senegal, Spain, Tunisia Implementation of the ICT Principles 2016 4 ICT Coalition for Children Online To show children the practical applications of codinG, the #SuperCoders proGramme also invites them to take part in the “Code for COP ChallenGe” as part of the United Nations climate conference : in 2015 for COP21 in Paris, and in 2016 for COP22 in Marrakesh. Children around the world are invited to create fun illustrations of environmental issues throuGh which they can eXpress their concern and vision for a better planet (see http://supercoders.oranGe.com/en/Media/supercoders- Media/2016/COP22/Code-for-COP22 It is a way to enGage children in usinG their newly-acquired codinG skills to Get involved in a cause that directly concerns them. For some eXamples of the winninG entries see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0RUPuYoM3M&feature=youtu.be The #SuperCoders workshops, which last from 3 to 4 hours, are facilitated by coding associations such as Simplon.co in Romania, Jovenesinventores in Spain or Akademia MłodeGo Hakera in Poland, ToPaTo in SeneGal…), workinG with over 1000 volunteer OranGe coaches trained by eXperienced coaches from within the company throuGhout the year. Children who have taken part are also encouraged to become future coaches themselves for their peers. For instance in France, OranGe, in partnership with a number of schools, orGanizes traininG for children aged 13 to 15. These younG #SuperCoders coaches have proved to be very motivated and effective in coachinG their peers from other Groups in their school (see video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/X4mhkhf_supercodeurs-au-colleGe_school Our ambition is to continue developinG #SuperCoders in all the reGions where OranGe operates (about 30 countries in Europe and Africa). The Goal is also to develop codinG workshops on a more frequent basis in all of our markets, as in Tunisia where OranGe workshops are offered to children every Saturday.
