More than 360 young people took part in discussions on peer violence, cyberbullying, discrimination, psychoactive substance abuse, and reproductive health. By sharing their experiences and perspectives, participants helped identify the challenges young people face online and offline, providing valuable insights for the project’s next activities.

Safebook Horizons is here — expanding safety culture from Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa!

What started as a manual… is becoming a movement.

Led by KOM 018 in partnership with Beyond Borders , YES , SDH , Favelas SA , and SIWoC , the Safebook Horizons project will empower youth workers and young people in 6 countries across 2 continents to promote youth safety culture using innovative non-formal education tools.

What’s the mission?

Create a new edition of the Safebook manual tailored to youth work in Sub-Saharan Africa

Train youth workers in 6 key safety areas:

• Peer violence

• Cyberbullying

• Discrimination

• Psychoactive substance abuse

• Reproductive health

Use concept photography & graphics as tools for safety education

Build a vibrant network of youth advocates across Europe and Africa

Raise awareness and influence change in local communities

Project will be implemented from November 2025 to April 2028 in Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, Italy, Serbia, South Africa and Tanzania and is co-funded by the European Union.

Because safety is a right — and a culture we build together.
