The “Connecting Schools” minishow, featuring 14 performances by students, provided a creative platform for young people to showcase their talents and spread positive messages about cybersecurity and online safety.

This year’s theme aims to raise awareness, equip children and adolescents with essential online safety skills, and mobilize joint efforts by families, schools, government agencies, social organizations, and businesses to protect young people in the digital space.

The festival also features interactive exhibitions and technology experience zones, where participants can navigate real-life online scenarios, learn to recognize risks, and practice choosing appropriate responses.

There was a call to action: every family should be a pillar of support, every school is a safe and supportive environment, and every individual is a link in the network of protecting children in the digital world.

The “Not Alone” campaign was initiated by the Digital Trust Alliance (DTA) under the auspices of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and international organizations, including UNICEF and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). It is co-organized by the Department of Cyber Security, the National Cyber Security Association, and Zeit Media.
