Theatre Play as an internet safety awareness campaign tool

Sessions with expert trainers and actors as well as workshops will help to share tools and good practices focusing on possibilities of communicating messages in an efficient and attractive way. The Portuguese Safer Internet Centre has adopted a new awareness campaign, bringing theatre to the community. A special focus will be put on this theatre play performed by a Portuguese actors’ group. Starring well-known actors, this show addresses online safety topics in theatre rooms, tackling different topics such as cyberbullying, privacy online behaviors, digital identity and online reputation.
