ISD resources for Educators

Young people face a complex and dangerous digital ecosystem. ISD’s resources support educators and youth workers to help young people build an understanding of a range of threats and challenges and enhance their resilience through digital and media literacy. 

We provide training and capacity building for young people, and our resources include programmes and curricula to engage young people in formal and informal education settings.

Available resources cover topics ranging from digital citizenship and media literacy to extremist recruitment. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to learn more about this work
