What is Ghosts On The Web action:

The Institute of Social Dynamics is a social company (KOIN.S.EP).It deals with the study of social problems and intervenes with actions that aim to contribute to social security and positive development.

Our new action Ghosts on the web is aimed at students and parents/guardians to help them navigate the internet safely.

The internet plays an important role in our daily lives, providing entertainment and a variety of information sources. As a medium of communication, it is intertwined with speed of response and is undoubtedly the most popular medium after television. But the Internet also presents us with many dangers that operate behind the scenes. They are not visible and we discover them when, for example, we have lost access to our accounts or even our personal credit card details. Particularly worrying is the phenomenon of intimidation that our family members may also face.

Our Ghosts on the Web campaign aims to inform parents and students about the prevention and management of online risks, both on social media and in everyday web browsing. At the same time, the psychological dimension of the issue is presented, as well as ways of coping and tips for handling problems that arise in a family and are related to the internet
