From 17th to 20th March 2026, Niš, Serbia hosted an inspiring Seminar on Online Research on Safety Issues for Young People, bringing together youth workers, activists, peer educators, and volunteers from partner organizations.
During the seminar, participants explored and adopted practical methodologies for researching online safety challenges faced by young people today. Through interactive sessions, group work, and knowledge exchange, they strengthened their skills in data collection, analysis, and youth-centered research approaches.
Beyond learning, this seminar marked the starting point for further action. Equipped with new competences, participants will now carry out research activities in their local communities, contributing to country-based analyses on youth online safety.
