National training program for teachers on online child safety

Once the methodological notes for the teachers involved in promoting online safety of children were approved, we launched the training sessions for teachers.

The training began on October 22, with an informative webinar for leaders of primary and secondary schools, which was attended by a large number of teachers from all over the country. As mentioned by the Secretary of State of the MECR, Natalia Griu, the activity marked the launch of a national program for training and informing teachers on online safety of children. Nearly 500 directors and deputy directors of schools have decided to improve their knowledge and skills in prevention of online risks to which children are subjected in the educational process. The participants learned from La Strada Moldova specialists how to approach online risks’ prevention in the educational process. Concrete practices of school intervention in cases of online child abuse were also discussed. The representatives of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research pointed out that both the teachers and the project managers and partners demonstrated an unprecedented mobilization, in difficult conditions and very short deadlines.

At the first stage of the webinars, trainings were held for directors and deputy directors for education from the northern part of the country. Further, the webinars will take place according to the following schedule:

* November 5-6, 2020 (Central region)

* November 9-10, 2020 (South)

* November 12-13, 2020 (for Russian speakers from all regions).

For the teachers interested in the training organized within this project, the registration is done by filling this form.

The program will continue with thematic training workshops for teachers on online safety in the educational process, as well as training workshops for school psychologists and those from the Psychological Assistance Services.

The training activities for teachers on online safety are organized by the International Center La Strada Moldova in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research, within a grant agreement with the Council of Europe Project „Combating violence against children in the Republic of Moldova”
