NCB Report: Children and Young Peoples views of Digital
Britain
NCB has now completed it's report on Children and Young People’s
views of Digital Britain.
On Friday 17 April 2009, 12 young people between the ages of 11
and 16, who are members of either Young NCB or one of NCB’s Life
Routes projects1, attended BERR’s Digital Britain Summit and took
part in their own consultation on the digital future of
Britain.
In preparation for this consultation, NCB had prepared a very
brief children’s version of the Digital Britain interim report and
also used flip cameras to interview a different group of younger
children to ask them two core questions:
- How do you use technology in your everyday lives?
- How will you use technology in the future?
An edited version of their responses was presented as a video
loop at the opening of the Digital Britain Summit.
In addition, the young people were given the opportunity to
interview industry professionals and regulators who were attending
the Digital Britain Summit.
