Description
This five-day intensive training course is designed to equip educators with essential knowledge and practical skills in cybersecurity, with a specific focus on educational environments. Participants will explore the evolving landscape of digital threats facing schools, understand how to protect sensitive student data, secure educational technologies, and promote a culture of digital responsibility. Through real-world case studies, hands-on workshops, and collaborative discussions, educators will gain the tools to confidently navigate cybersecurity challenges in both administrative and classroom contexts.
