Digital media and technology are essential to society and impact all age groups. Children and teenagers face a variety of dangers in the field of digital security. As part of the SecComp4All project, relevant dangers are collected and categorized on the one hand, and reasonable countermeasures for these dangers are defined on the other hand.
The goal of SecComp4All is to create an exemplary curriculum consisting of competencies for primary and secondary schools for children and teenagers to master these dangers at their best. The fact that different dangers are relevant and, therefore, different competencies are required for children and teenagers of different ages is also considered. The defined competencies are entered into GECKO (Graph-based Environment for Competency and Knowledge-Item Organization), forming the basis of the exemplary curriculum.
