This short course equips educators across Europe with the tools and knowledge to understand, prevent, and address OGBV among youth. Drawing from feminist pedagogy and an inclusive, sex-positive approach, the course focuses on training teachers to support students in navigating digital spaces with greater safety, empathy and awareness.

Through three dynamic modules, participants will explore the different forms of OGBV, including cyberbullying, image-based sexual abuse, deepfake pornography and cyber-harassment, and their impact on students. The course also examines the online manosphere and how platforms like TikTok and YouTube can sometimes reinforce harmful gender ideologies or exclusionary attitudes.

Rather than relying on fear-based or punitive strategies, the course encourages preventive education rooted in consent, emotional literacy and digital wellbeing. By the end of the course, teachers will be better equipped to identify signs of OGBV, support affected students and promote a culture of care, accountability and resilience in their learning environments.
