Hoe bescherm jij jezelf online tegen cyberboeven en cookiemonsters?

The brief
For this project, we created an educational video about online safety for pupils in group 7 and 8. In the video, Rolf van Wegberg and Simone van der Boon explain what internet cookies are and how cybercriminals can misuse them.

Behind the scenes
The video was part of the broader teaching pack Cyberboeven en Cookiemonsters. Alongside the film, we also developed a quiz and a handout so teachers could easily continue the conversation in the classroom. The creative challenge was to make a complex topic understandable and engaging for a younger audience, without oversimplifying it.

Why this one stood out
What made this project fun was the tone. Inspired by Het Klokhuis, we approached the subject in a playful, accessible way while still keeping the educational value intact. It is a good example of how video can make a difficult subject feel approachable.

By reducing complex narratives to data points, these systems strip applicants of autonomy over their identity and undermine dignity.
