GMG Safer Play Online
In Partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainmemnt (SIE)
Are you nervous about what your kids experience online?
We understand! The internet isn’t the same as when we were kids and the technology is ever changing and growing. With the rise of AI, it is becoming even harder to tell what is real and safe online.
While online gaming spaces can be exciting and full of opportunities for creativity and connection, they also present serious challenges, including exposure to harassment, unsafe interactions, and pressure to overshare personal information. Girls are often disproportionately impacted by these challenges, particularly in multiplayer and voice-based environments.
That’s why we’re launching this new initiative in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) to help kids and parents navigate the online landscape.
Designed for Kids, Families, and Communities
Our initiative is rooted in the belief that education and open communication offer a better way forward by replacing fear with understanding and trust.
Our Safer Play Online Initiative will include content that is:
Age-appropriate, engaging, and culturally inclusive
Designed for gaming-savvy kids and teens, but also beneficial for parents and guardians
Useful in homes, schools, community programs, and online platforms
Through workshops, engaging media, and at-home activities, we will equip both kids and parents & caregivers with the skills for things such as:
Understanding gaming and online environments, including chat features, social tools, and AI tools like chatbots
Recognizing red flags such as harassment, manipulation, or pressure to share personal information
Knowing how to respond when something feels uncomfortable
Developing strategies to handle conflict and negativity without losing confidence or enjoyment
Protecting privacy and understanding digital footprints
Building healthy, balanced relationships with gaming
Navigating the tools available for parents to manage gaming
These skills support not only safer gameplay but also stronger digital literacy that extends beyond games.
Stay Tuned for more updates as we launch this program!
