“Safe Space: A Kid’s Guide to Data Privacy,” a book developed and published by Globe and non-profit Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development (CANVAS), has won as one of the best reads at the 7th National Children’s Book Awards (NCBA), the country’s premier award for locally-published children and young adult books.
A board of experts from the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY), a non-profit organization committed to the development of children’s literature, selected the book as one of the winners after evaluating titles published in the last two years.
The activity book introduces the concept of personal data to children aged 6 to 12 and teaches them how to protect themselves online. It breaks down in child-friendly language the importance of keeping personal data secure, how such information may be compromised, what children and parents can do to avoid becoming a victim, and how to address similar concerns.
