Education

Education in issues such as digital citizenship is a pathway to social cohesion and resilience against extremism. For decades, ISD has worked with civil society, governments and multinational businesses to build new tools and resources to educate communities. This includes our current Business Council For Democracy (BC4D), a joint initiative of the Hertie Stiftung, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and ISD Germany, which trains German employees on issues related to democratic processes and online harms.
