Introducing Safebook Horizons: A manual on youth safety, the new special edition of Safebook!
Developed through cooperation between experts, youth workers and educators from partner organisations, this edition brings together practical non-formal education methods to help young people explore safety issues and make informed decisions.
The manual introduces a new segment on reproductive health, with workshops designed to support learning, open discussion and reflection. Each workshop provides clear instructions, materials, debriefing questions and tips for facilitators, making it easier to use in youth work and educational activities.
Existing methodologies have also been reviewed to reflect different local and cultural contexts across Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. The edition addresses topics including digital safety, cyberbullying, gender-based violence and reproductive health, taking into account the different challenges young people face in their communities.
🌍 The manual is available in English, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Italian, Serbian and Swahili, helping more youth workers, educators and organisations bring youth safety education into their everyday work.
Safebook Horizons is 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 six countries across two continents to promote a culture of youth safety through innovative non-formal education tools.
The project will create a new edition of the Safebook manual tailored to youth work in Sub-Saharan Africa and train youth workers in six key safety areas: peer violence, cyberbullying, discrimination, psychoactive substance abuse, reproductive health and mental health. It will also use concept photography and graphics as tools for safety education, build a network of youth advocates across Europe and Africa, and raise awareness to encourage change in local communities.
Co-funded by the European Union, the project will be implemented from November 2025 to April 2028 in Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, Italy, Serbia, South Africa and Tanzania.
🔐 Safety is a right and a culture we build together.
