About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

We have operated since 2018 with the mission to protect children from online risks. We started with the translation of Europol's video on online child grooming and the development of the first lesson on child online safety. And then we decided that we need more innovative methods to protect children.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Since 2020, we educated more than 536,000 children and more than 260,000 parents and specialists who work with children. One of our methods was developing the world's first VR about online sexual abuse of children. It is world’s first educational exhibition-quest, "(Non)children's Online Relationships".

Through an immersive VR journey, teens and adults step into the role of a teenager facing a risky online situation, experiencing firsthand the challenges and navigating the path from problem onset to resolution. The exhibition aims to help children, teens, and parents gain a deeper understanding of the digital realities young people face every day.

How has it been spreading?

Our organization primarily focuses on reaching educators and parents, rather than directly targeting young people. By informing adults, we aim to spread important messages to children and teenagers through their caregivers and teachers.

Our digital presence across social media has been significant. On Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. In addition to our online efforts, we utilize various offline pathways to disseminate information, including billboards, collaborations with Ukrzaliznytsia (the national railway), metro stations, and UNICEF centers.
