Particular emphasis was placed on fostering digital literacy, recognizing suspicious practices, and adopting essential protective measures when using social media and new technologies.
The event concluded with an open dialogue with the audience, where real-life incidents were used to underscore the importance of reliable information and responsible digital behavior in a constantly evolving technological environment.
