Virtual Intimacy Zone – Internet Safety Day in Dunajská Streda
On November 4, 2025, the Vámbéry Ármin High School in Dunajská Streda hosted the Virtual Intimacy Zone Internet Safety Day, an event that raised students’ awareness about conscious and safe use of the digital world. Organized by TANDEM, n.o., the event offered an exciting, educational, and experiential way to explore how to navigate the online space responsibly.
Throughout the day, students from classes 1.a, 1.b, 2.a, and 2.b participated in a variety of programs — interactive workshops, thematic stations, and a unique Live Library. The discussions and playful activities focused on current topics such as identifying fake news, protecting personal data, cyberbullying, digital addiction, and preventing online scams.
Morning small-group sessions helped develop self-awareness and critical thinking skills, while the afternoon offered freely selectable stations exploring digital footprints, the impact of artificial intelligence, and the world of misinformation. Students could also relax in the Digital Detox Room and reflect on their own internet habits. One highlight of the day was the interactive theatre workshop by Student Theater group named Fókusz Diákszínpad, led by Katalin Kuklis, creatively addressing the relationship between the online and offline worlds.
It was inspiring to see the students’ active participation and meaningful conversations with experts in a supportive, friendly atmosphere where they confidently shared their thoughts and experiences.
What is an influencer’s daily life like? How does it feel when someone’s accounts are hacked, and their data is stolen before their eyes? How much effort does it take to gain followers on Instagram? Students listened to real-life stories from our Live Books — Maja Gasparik, editor and presenter at Radio Pátria and singer of the band Arizóna; Attila Szlovák, IT security expert from company Motívum s.r.o.; and Kristóf Tóth, CEO and system administrator at company LiveIT s.r.o. — gaining valuable insights and practical safety tips.
Developing digital awareness is essential in young people’s lives today. The event received highly positive feedback from both teachers and students.
We sincerely thank the Vámbéry Ármin High School’s principal, teachers, students, and staff for their warm hospitality and cooperation, as well as our supporter Orange Foundation, our Live Books, trainers, and volunteers.
We are delighted that this inspiring day was successfully realized!
More about the project:
Virtual Intimacy Zone – Internet Safety Day
The Virtual Intimacy Zone is an interactive educational program promoting conscious and safe internet use among high school students. Through small-group activities, games, and thematic stands, students learn to recognize online risks, manage their digital footprint, and think critically about online information.
The program focuses not only on data protection and the technical side of online safety but also on emotional well-being — exploring how social media affects self-esteem and relationships.
During the day, participants engage in self-reflection discussions, interactive exercises, and themed stands such as Digital Detox, Filter-Free – Offline Conversations About the Online World, Virtual Defenders Cooperative Board Game, Live Library, AI Stand, Mobile Service Stand, Creative Stand, Hoax Stand, and Debate Theatre.
The goal is to help young people move more confidently, safely, and responsibly in the digital space.
