Together, we can create a safer and more supportive digital environment.

My school has taken several steps to teach digital safety, including incorporating online safety modules into the curriculum, organizing workshops on cyberbullying and digital etiquette, and promoting responsible social media use. Students are encouraged to think critically about online content, protect their personal data, and engage in respectful online interactions. To build a positive and safe online culture, students can play a vital role by being kind, empathetic, and responsible digital citizens. They can help by reporting online harassment, promoting positivity and inclusivity, and setting good examples for their peers. By empowering students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly, we can foster a culture of digital citizenship that benefits everyone.

@Sanaa digital safety is not an easy task – fundamentally, digital safety involves preventing and minimising harm in the online environment. This includes moderating illegal or harmful content, promoting responsible platform design and governance, and empowering users to customise their digital experiences.

@Sanaa This topic is essential. Inclusion also means safety—especially for students with disabilities. Thank you for reminding us to consider emotional protection in digital education
