Building a safer future for young people

SAFEZONE

Empowering Youth Against Exploitation

Safer online spaces, more digitally aware young people.

SafeZone helps young people recognise the risks of online manipulation, cyber grooming and exploitation. Through interactive tools, the project supports prevention, informed decision-making and knowing when and how to ask for help.

What we do

We use interactive, practical tools to help young people recognise online risks and navigate the digital world with greater confidence and awareness.

Online Learning Platform

Our interactive learning materials help young people understand how cyber grooming, the loverboy method and online exploitation work, and show them where and how to seek help.

Escape game

Experience-based learning helps young people recognise manipulation in realistic situations, practise making informed decisions and build greater awareness of online safety.

Virtual simulation

A realistic simulation where young people can practise how to respond to different online situations and learn to set healthy boundaries in the digital world.

Knowledge that helps you recognise the danger

We work together to give more young people the tools they need to stay safer, more confident and more aware online.

WHY IS SAFEZONE NEEDED?

Young people spend an increasing amount of time online, where they encounter both new opportunities and new risks. Online manipulation, cyber grooming and exploitation are becoming more sophisticated, while many young people are not prepared to recognise the warning signs. As the digital world evolves rapidly, prevention tools need to keep pace: they should reflect real-life situations, be interactive, and communicate in a way that feels relevant to young people.

PROJECT TOOLS

Creating meaningful experiences that enable young people to unlock their full potential.

E-learning platform

Interactive, youth-friendly online learning materials, videos and quizzes.

Facilitator’s Guide

A practical handbook for professionals, educators and youth workers.

Escape Game Kit

An immersive, hands-on activity based on realistic scenarios.

Virtual simulation

Interactive scenarios designed to strengthen decision-making skills and promote safer online behaviour.

OUR ROLL

In the project, we build on our experience in community-based and preventive work with young people. We contribute to developing and testing the methods, and help ensure that the project tools work effectively in real-life youth settings.
