On 13 December 2025, specialists from the Department of Social, Humanitarian, Educational, and Career Guidance Work organised a viewing and discussion of the educational series ‘Basic Knowledge of Cyber Hygiene and Online Safety.’ While watching the series, students learned what cyber hygiene is, who hackers are, which services respond to cyber threats, how to create strong passwords, update software on time, use antivirus software, and set up two-factor authentication.

The course contains simple tips to reduce the risk of falling victim to hackers, as well as recommendations on how to use email safely. During the discussion of the series, students expressed their views on online threats. Each participant also shared their impressions of the series and what information was new to them today. The students held a master class on working with computers.

During the open dialogue, the students came to the conclusion that today, being Internet-literate is extremely important because it opens up access to unlimited knowledge and learning opportunities, but requires media literacy and cybersecurity to distinguish truth from fakes, protect personal data from fraudsters (phishing, cyberbullying), and use resources safely. It's like having a key to a large library where you need to know the rules so you don't fall into a trap or encounter danger.
