Description and overview:

This 6-week course is designed to develop and strengthen the capacities of formal and informal educators, youth practitioners, and peacebuilding professionals. It equips participants with practical skills and knowledge to protect themselves and others from digital violence in conflict-prone and digitally complex environments.

Participants are expected to transfer the acquired skills, knowledge, and practical tools to their students, colleagues, and broader communities. The course supports participants in applying these competencies in both their personal and professional lives, contributing to safer behaviour online, in schools, and in broader society. 

Participants who attend all sessions and actively participate will receive a certificate of completion from the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC).
