Watch Your Space core work

Watch Your Space is an awareness raising initiative, targeting teenagers, from Webwise. It is devoted to promoting safe, effective use of the internet among young people through awareness raising resources and campaigns.

Watch Your Space campaigns

The #Up2Us campaign, run through the Watch Your Space website and social media channels, originated in response to the Action Plan on Bullying. Developed in collaboration with the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel, the #Up2Us campaign empowers and supports young people as they take action to address bullying, in particular cyber bullying, in their local communities.
