Objectives

The project's aim was to empower students, teachers, and families to navigate the digital world more consciously and safely. Training sessions, workshops, and seminars were held in three countries. The goal was to help students identify online risks, develop strong passwords, protect personal data, and combat cyberbullying skills. Teachers received digital safety and literacy training, increasing their capacity to guide students in the classroom. Special sessions were held for families, enabling them to monitor their children's internet use and provide safe guidance. Additionally, the project developed collaborative educational materials, family information modules, and teacher guides. Participants' digital safety awareness was significantly increased at the end of the activities. Thus, the project directly contributed to students' development of safe internet habits, teachers' development of professional skills, and families' awareness-raising.

Background

The primary reason for this project is the lack of safe internet use and digital literacy among students, teachers, and families. Young people are increasingly facing risks in the digital environment, teachers lack sufficient knowledge in this area, and families struggle to guide their children. Research conducted in Italy, Bulgaria, and Turkey shows that the vast majority of students are unaware of online risks, teachers need support with digital safety, and families are failing to protect their children. Based on these needs, the project was designed and implemented in collaboration with the three countries. The project aims to empower students to develop conscious and safe internet habits, enhance teachers' professional skills in digital safety, and equip families with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage their children's online experiences. This aims to create a safer and more informed digital society.
