The Toolkit provides educators and students with a practical set of activities and resources designed to identify, analyse, and address cyber threats effectively. It includes interactive exercises, both online and in-person, that encourage critical reflection and positive engagement with digital challenges. This toolkit serves as a dynamic aid in promoting digital literacy and resilience, helping users to navigate and respond to the complex landscape of online interactions safely and responsibly. The resource is divided in two parts: A) The Resources Database is a practical tool designed to provide quick access to existing educational resources on digital safety while compiling a country-specific framework on online security. It includes tailored resources for Italy, Greece, Romania, Portugal, and Slovakia, along with EU-wide information and materials available in English, ensuring comprehensive guidance for educators, students, and families. B) The Non-Formal Education Practices Document equips educators with structured activities to create a positive classroom environment, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and responsible digital behavior among students. Divided into five key areas, it addresses 15 digital threats, providing practical strategies to build awareness, resilience, and safer online interactions.
