At Ørestad Gymnasium, the semester kicked off with an important event centered around digital safety, featuring National Danish Experts in digital harassment and data privacy. Led by Miriam Michelsen, the event emphasized the legal aspects of online privacy, the risks of digital harassment, and the steps individuals can take to protect themselves. Students also explored how youth culture interacts with various digital platforms, learning how young people use the internet and the challenges they face. A key takeaway was understanding the importance of safeguarding personal data and knowing what to do in case of a data breach or online harassment.
