On 27 March 2026, within the framework of Innovent 2026, the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development (iED) successfully organised a Cyber Safe Senior Information Day and Workshop.

The event focused on supporting educators and participants in strengthening digital skills for seniors while raising awareness around key cybersecurity topics. Participants explored safe internet use, digital threats, online scams, and personal data protection, gaining practical tips that can be applied in everyday life.

Through this activity, we brought together participants from different age groups and took another important step towards building a more digitally aware, resilient, and secure society. Together, we move forward in building a safer, more inclusive, and digitally confident society for all generations.

In addition to the Information Day and workshop, some participants also joined the session "Cyber-readiness in Action: Assessment in Real-World Conditions", further reinforcing their knowledge through hands-on insights and real-life scenarios.

The Cyber Safe Senior Virtual Lessons Platform was also introduced, highlighting how it can be effectively used as a learning and training resource for educators and adult learners.

📣✨ Summary of the information campaign organised by the Institute of New Technologies

📍 An information meeting for seniors and educators took place in Pabianice as part of a campaign promoting the project results. The event had a practical focus – participants had the opportunity to explore the project’s educational platform and see how the available materials work in practice.

💻🖱️ During the meeting, we demonstrated how to use the educational platform, where to find the learning materials, and how they can support both learners and educators conducting online safety training.

👥📚 Participants also had the chance to test selected elements of the platform themselves, explore sample lessons and materials, and discuss how these resources can be used in educational practice.

💬🔐 The meeting was a great opportunity to exchange experiences and to show that digital tools can be simple, accessible, and helpful in promoting online safety education.

🎉 After 27 months of collaboration since 2024, the Cyber Safe Senior project (2023-1-PL01-KA220-ADU-000160325) has come to a successful close.

🤝 With partners from Poland, Slovenia, Greece, and Türkiye, we set out to raise seniors’ awareness of online safety, reduce digital exclusion, and prepare educators to teach cybersecurity effectively. The project was structured around seven work packages, each with a distinct aim and tangible outputs.

📘 WP2 aimed to create engaging, accessible educational materials. It produced an e-book with 25 real-life case studies covering common cyber threats, accompanied by 5 videos illustrating risks and responses and 5 interactive quizzes. All materials were made available in five languages and received an internal success rate of 88.38%.

🧑‍🏫 WP3 developed a training program for adult educators. Its aim was to give trainers the knowledge and methods to teach about online safety. The result is a 5-module program (cybersecurity basics, common scams, online banking and shopping safety, safe social media use, and safe digitalization) plus 10 IMPROV cases—simulation exercises that prepare educators to handle real-world scenarios.

🌍 WP4 delivered the Joint Staff Training in Ljubljana, Slovenia, bringing together 25 educators from all partner countries. The aim was to test the training program, exchange expertise, and build a community of trainers. Participants rated the experience 5/5, and their self-assessed knowledge increased from 5.81 to 8.96 on a 10-point scale. Post-test scores showed major improvements in identifying scams such as smishing, deepfakes, and public Wi-Fi risks.

💻 WP5 produced 10 virtual lessons, each designed for one hour of interactive learning. The aim was to offer engaging lessons that can be used in group settings or independently. Topics range from social media scams and privacy protection to phishing, smishing, financial fraud, and trust-based scams. Each lesson includes realistic scenarios, self-assessment checklists, and trainer tips.

👥 WP6 conducted pilot training for 157 participants across four countries. The aim was to test the virtual lessons in real educational settings and measure their impact. Pre- and post-training tests confirmed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge, and over 80% expressed high satisfaction with the courses.

📣 WP7 focused on dissemination and awareness. Through four information days for trainers and educational institutions, we reached 175 professionals, and through five demonstration workshops we engaged more than 125 participants, bringing the total campaign reach to over 300 people.

🌐 All outputs—the e-book, training program, virtual lessons, videos, and quizzes—are now available free of charge in five languages on the project’s e-learning platform. Educational institutions, trainers, and organizations are invited to use, adapt, and share them.

As the Turkish partner in the Cyber Safe Senior project, we have successfully completed our information campaign held in İsaören, İnegöl, Bursa.

While our event drew significant interest from the local community and young people, the primary focus was on enhancing the digital skills of over 35 senior participants, and raising their awareness of cybersecurity, and informing them about Cyber Safe Senior's outputs.

Participants learned about our Cyber Safe Senior Virtual Lessons Platform, which we developed as part of the project. Additionally, they were informed about safe internet usage, digital threats, and personal data security, and we had the opportunity to share practical tips they can apply in their daily lives.

Through this event, we expanded the impact of our project by sharing it with seniors living in rural areas.

As the Turkish partner in the Cyber Safe Senior project, we successfully conducted our pilot training session on March 18, 2026, in Cerrah Village, İnegöl District, Bursa Province.💫

During our pilot training, we gathered with participants aged 65 and older to conduct a comprehensive training program covering cybersecurity, deepfake scams, SMS scams, and financial investment scams. 🛡️

Participants were informed about safe internet usage, online fraud methods, personal data security, and measures to take against digital threats, while also gaining practical skills they can use in their daily lives. 🫆

Thanks to this pilot session, we extended the project's impact to the rural areas! 🚄

Through this pilot program, the effectiveness of the training content developed in line with the target group’s needs was tested, and it contributed to helping older adults navigate the digital world more safely and consciously. 🖐️
