Global digital safety and child protection initiatives
Overview
Efforts to enhance digital safety and child protection are expanding through educational initiatives and expert warnings regarding emerging technological risks.
In Greece, the Center for Social Action and Innovation organized a session titled ‘School and the Digital World: How Safe Are Children?’ to address cyberbullying and digital safety. The event focused on the roles of educators and psychologists in identifying risks, particularly for individuals with intellectual disabilities, while noting broader European Union efforts to protect minors online.
In South America, new initiatives have emerged to combat digital threats. In Uruguay, Tigo and Club Ferrocarril launched interactive workshops using educational games to teach children about data management and secure browsing. Meanwhile, in Argentina, forensic IT expert César Agüero emphasized the necessity of cybersecurity education in schools to counter risks from artificial intelligence, such as identity theft and the fraudulent manipulation of images.
