channel troy - a theater play for young people
What makes the internet so attractive to youngsters? How authentic are online identities? What dangers are lurking in the world wide web? What are the advantages of a global network?
The theatre play channel troy, developed within the framework of the EU Project Virtual Stages Against Violence; deals with all of these questions. channel troy is an engaging and energetic play on the numerous communication channels of the internet and on the media manipulation of private und personal information.
Considering that the internet has increasingly become the main source of information and communication, it can be a source of the following risks, especially for young people:
-
distorted messages
-
false identities
-
violent representations of reality
“Of course I gotta be on facebook. All my friends are there. How else should I communicate with them? I can hide my whole life there. On facebook I am someone.”
What is virtual? – What is real?
In channel troy, life becomes virtual, and events online become real. What follows are hard truths and uncomfortable questions. This piece explores the concepts of privacy and mercy.
Online, the characters in channel troy are strong, self confident and competent. They are part of a community where they can enjoy security and trust. Their virtual lives seem uncomplicated and, to a large extent, much easier than real life. Here they can chat comfortably, flirt and arrange to meet up. Online, no-one is alone.
Yet the innocent simplicity of little white lies quickly turns into an intriguing and turbulent game, blurring the distinction between the real and the virtual, until finally, nobody can trust anybody else. Was that not bad enough, the presenter of TV hit channel troy uses manipulative media to confront users with the hard-hitting issues from their own private lives.
The EU project Virtual Stages Against Violence (VSAV) as well as the theater play channel troy tackle the risks faced by young people when using new media and technologies. VSAV also created an online videogame to raise young people’s awareness about the risks related to an improper use of new technologies in an amusing way.

Projekt E-Maria against domestic violence
According to the Council of Europe, 12 to 15 percent of European Women over 16 have suffered domestic abuse in a relationship at some point in their lives (2008).
Safety intervention into domestic violence against women and children is paramount at all times. Thus risk assessment – applying formal instruments to assess the likelihood of repeated and escalating intimate partner violence– plays a central role and must be given utmost priority.
E-MARIA seeks to improve the intervention in domestic violence by creating instruments and tools that assist in the recovery of victims of domestic violence and encourage a high level of efficacy and efficiency in their protection and safety. As such, E-MARIA also aims to promote the empowerment and autonomy of survivors and to prevent further victimisation.
To create high quality instruments, information must be gathered on existing approaches and on the experiences of professionals in using existing risk assessment tools. For this analysis the E-MARIA team kindly invites you to contribute to the research by answering the questions provided in an online survey. Please follow the survey here.

Kick-Off für zwei neue EU-Projekte
In January kick-off meetings took place for two new EU projects - APPSA and WikiSkills.
APPSA - Achieve Pedestrian Priority and Safety
Pedestrians are among the unprotected road users interacting with high speed traffic. This makes them particularly vulnerable to accidents, leading to severe consequences. To improve the safety of roads, we need to turn our attention to vocational trainings and traffic regulations require. APPSA aims to promote pedestrian safety by creating a vocational-based learning model that will teach traffic culture to pedestrians and pedestrian culture to drivers.
WikiSkills – working together, creating knowledge
Wiki tools and skills, a new way for interactivity and knowledge sharing within the Internet, enhance collaborative learning processes as students co-write and co-edit web content. During such learning processes, peer interaction can motivate participants, who collaboratively construct shared knowledge. The EU project WikiSkills seeks to encourage educators to adopt Wiki-based collaboration, thus empowering civic behaviour, social inclusion, employability, cultural understanding and promoting autonomous learning.
