To this end, training content is produced, such as tutorials, games and digital brochures, as well as support guides for classroom support, to be used by PSP officers.
The
2025 Communicate Safely Program covers a number of current topics, such as Privacy and Digital Security, Fake News, Online Grooming, Erotic Content and Stalking, Online Gaming and Addiction, Cybercrime, Education Platforms, Hate Speech and Cyberbullying, and Artificial Intelligence, this year's new topic.

A
Fundação MEO continues to pursue its purpose of putting technology at the service of communication and knowledge, contributing to accessibility and inclusion for all by supporting citizenship and social intervention initiatives.
