Masterclass #3: Your life online: be safe, be empowered

Being online is a richly beneficial and increasingly inherent part of our daily lives – but what risks do we run each day on the internet? 

Participants joined online safety experts to learn how to stay safe whilst connected, avoiding online harm and risks such as harassment, victimization, cyberbullying, grooming and exposure to misinformation or age-inappropriate content. Participants were also provided with practical tools to learn about their rights online – and be empowered to harness the opportunities of connectivity fully and securely.
