Our mission includes raising awareness and combating illegal and harmful online content and behaviors, including online child abuse. Our target audience includes children, parents, and everyone who supports and cares for children. This encompasses teachers and professionals from any field that interacts with minors.

Outreach - Schools

We conduct outreach in schools throughout the academic year, offering a range of sessions in primary, middle, secondary, and tertiary education institutions. We provide tailored sessions for both students and parents. In the summer, we collaborate with FES to deliver sessions for SkolaSajf students and also offer sessions in other summer schools upon request.

We also carry out sessions with teachers and professionals working in the school setting.

Train the trainers

As part of our outreach and education initiatives, we conduct "train the trainers" sessions. We have provided training to a diverse group of professionals, including social workers, guidance teachers and counselors, ethics and religion teachers, early years and nurture group teachers, and CoPE sessions for educators.

Training received

Continuous training is an essential part of our work. As trends change rapidly, staying updated is crucial to our effectiveness and success.
