Digital safety is a pressing concern in an ever-more connected world. In classrooms everywhere, educators face the challenge of supporting young people to learn about cybersecurity and to navigate online risks and the impact of AI tools and social media. How do we move beyond restriction to empowerment and equip learners with the understanding and skills to think critically and use tools safely?

In this issue, educators all over the world share what digital safety and security mean in their classrooms. You'll find insightful research, practical advice, and thoughtful strategies to reflect on and adopt, giving you new ways of teaching online safety and cybersecurity to your learners. In the issue, authors explore topics such as what schools can do to partner with students on cybersecurity, how culture, inequality, and daily life influence the dangers young people face online in the Global South, and what arguments are being made around social media bans for young people.
