This project aims to strengthen digital safety in schools by training teachers for a new context of rapid digitisation, increasing use of artificial intelligence, deepfakes and online disinformation. The project responds to this need by equipping primary, secondary and vocational teachers, as well as teacher trainers, with knowledge and practical tools to promote safe digital environments.

Over three years, innovative teaching materials will be developed, including a 5 ECTS training module, a 3 ECTS open online course (MOOC) and assessment tools. A European Community of Practice will also be created for teachers to share experiences and support each other, and Summer Schools with practical training will be held. The consortium brings together nine institutions from six European countries, contributing to strengthening digital resilience in education across Europe.
