The training was based on interactive teaching methods, including teamwork, case studies, group solution modeling, and reflection.
To engage participants and enhance digital literacy, modern digital applications such as Mentimeter, Padlet, and online collaboration tools were used.
The training was conducted as part of the DAAD international project “Together Against Online Hate: Prevention and Intervention Strategies for Youth in Germany, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, and Ukraine,” aimed at preventing cyberbullying among Youth.
