MNet is a non-profit organisation which aims to support and encourage media and Internet education.  The website explains: 

"MNet's work is based on the belief that to be functionally literate in the world today – to be able to "read" the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us daily – young people need critical thinking skills."

The website offers online games to help young people develop a critical assessment of the Internet.  "Jo Cool or Jo Fool" is a tour of 12 specially created examples of websites requiring the player to make a judgment of trust.  Should Jo register for Splurge Cola’s free online music?

MNet's research suggests that many children are making such decisions on their own, since most use the Internet unsupervised.  It found that only one in four talk to their parents about what they do online, results which echo those of similar surveys in Europe.

MNet launched the Be Web Aware initiative in 2004, aiming to address parents in particular. The website informs about potential risks, and provides tips and tools that will help parents manage their children’s use of the Internet.

It's not all about risks and dangers however.  MNet also recognises that young people are increasingly becoming creators of media, not just consumers.  The practical information provided for young people also handles issues such as copyright when using pictures in websites they make themselves.

The websites and many of the resources are available in French as well as English.
