Lessons learnt from a workshop on preventing cybergrooming in schools

Cybergrooming is a serious threat to children and young people in the digital world. But how can this sensitive topic be addressed in an age-appropriate way in a school setting, and how can preventative measures be put in place? This peer-to-peer workshop offers a practical insight into the design and delivery of our tried-and-tested project day, ‘Online clever & wachsam’. Together, we will explore and try out various methods and materials – from playful approaches and a legal framework, through the analysis of perpetrators’ manipulation strategies, to evaluation. The workshop is aimed at anyone interested in gaining initial experience in preventive media education – whether for internships, future project days or their own professional development.
