"Homo Digitalis" in Slovakia – Exploring Digital Identity and Safety

30/09/2025

From 8th to 14th September 2025, bulgarian participants from CEGE Association took part in the international training course “Homo Digitalis: I am online, therefore I am” held in Trnava, Slovakia. The project gathered youth workers and educators from across Europe to explore the digital realities shaping our everyday lives.

The training focused on topics such as digital identity, online communication, risks and opportunities in the digital space, as well as tools for safer and more responsible use of technology.

Through interactive workshops, discussions, and non-formal learning methods, participants had the chance to reflect on their own habits and to develop strategies to better support young people in the digital world.

A Participant’s Perspective

One of our participants, Maria Gancheva, shared her impressions:

“During the training course we learned about various cyber threats and the significance of digital safety and security. Through engaging presentations and workshops we also explored topics such as critical thinking and digital literacy, the psychological effects of negative digital consumption (e.g. nocebo effect), Eric Berne’s theory of social interaction. The course finished with a small collaborative project – a video highlighting the importance of cyber scams awareness.”

Looking Ahead

For CEGE Association, this project was another important step towards building digital competences and empowering youth workers to address the challenges of our time. We are grateful to the hosting organization "Európsky Dialóg" and to Erasmus+ for making such experiences possible.

Stay tuned for more opportunities to join our upcoming projects and discover how international exchanges can broaden perspectives and create lasting impact.
