Media Monitoring Africa (MMA), Google SA & partners are rolling out Web Rangers SA, a South African first, where children will champion good digital citizenship & online safety.

200 children will be recruited to become Web Rangers. The Web Rangers will promote online safety by encouraging their peers to be good digital citizens through the creative campaigns they create.

We are looking for 10 vibrant pupils (aged 14-17) in 20 schools across Gauteng who will drive this initiative & follow in the footsteps of countries such as Israel, Philippines, New Zealand & India.

Once selected, the Web Rangers will attend exciting, educational & creative  workshops hosted in Johannesburg on how to safely & confidently use the internet. Individual  schools will then work on creating individual campaigns.
The best campaign will win awesome prizes from Google – winners announced  September 2016.
MMA will monitor, support and keep in contact with the participating teams on an ongoing basis.

This is a free, non-profit initiative. We only want to get as many South African children to be responsible digital citizens!
