Workshop on Internet and AI Safety (Greece)
Raising Awareness of Internet and AI Safety Among Young Women
On 4 – 5 November 2025, the NAOMI project held its first international learning activity in Thessaloniki, Greece. Hosted by Fifty-Fifty, the workshop brought together young women and representatives of the project’s partner organisations from Greece, France and Bulgaria.
Through presentations, quizzes, group discussions and practical activities, participants explored key topics such as ethical artificial intelligence, online harassment, misinformation, privacy protection, gender-based online violence and mental well-being. The interactive, non-formal learning environment encouraged them to share personal experiences, ask questions and develop a more informed and critical approach to digital technologies.
Intercultural dialogue was a central part of the workshop. Participants compared digital practices and perceptions of online risks across their countries, identifying shared concerns as well as cultural differences.
The workshop also introduced practical recommendations for safer and more responsible online behaviour.
By highlighting the close links between digital literacy, AI ethics, internet safety and mental health, it established a shared foundation for the next stages of the NAOMI project and strengthened a supportive international learning community.

Training on Ethical AI Use and Digital Privacy (Bulgaria)
Advanced Training on Ethical AI, Digital Privacy and Mental Well-being
On 16 – 17 February 2026, the NAOMI project held its second international learning activity in Sofia, Bulgaria. Hosted by the Association for Innovative Mentality (AIM), the training brought together young women and representatives of the partner organisations from Bulgaria, France and Greece.
Building on the first workshop in Greece, participants deepened their understanding of ethical artificial intelligence, digital privacy, online safety and mental well-being. Through presentations, group discussions, collaborative exercises and case studies, they explored how algorithms shape online experiences and influence the information people receive.
Particular attention was given to the risks faced by women online. Participants examined real-life cases involving deepfakes, manipulated images, fake profiles, online harassment and privacy violations. Discussions addressed not only the technological aspects of these issues but also their emotional and psychological consequences, the responsibilities of digital platforms and the support available to victims.
The training also provided practical guidance on protecting personal data, managing digital footprints, setting online boundaries and using AI-powered tools responsibly. Intercultural exchanges enabled participants to compare approaches to prevention, education and victim support across their respective countries.
The activity concluded by emphasising that ethical AI, digital literacy, privacy protection and mental well-being are inseparable aspects of online safety. The knowledge and skills developed in Sofia contributed to the creation of the project’s AI-Driven Digital Well-being Toolkit and supported future dissemination activities.

Digital Mental Health Support Groups in (France)
Digital Mental Health Support Groups in France
On 20–21 May 2026, the NAOMI project held its third major transnational activity in Maurepas, France. Hosted by Association AJC, the workshop brought together young women and representatives of the partner organisations from France, Bulgaria and Greece.
Building on the previous activities in Greece and Bulgaria, the support groups helped participants turn their knowledge of digital risks into practical strategies for protecting their mental well-being and supporting others. The programme explored how social media, online communication and AI-powered environments can affect emotions, behaviour, self-esteem and mental health.
Through presentations, group discussions, case studies, simulations and personal reflection, participants examined issues such as cyberbullying, social comparison, unrealistic standards, emotional manipulation, public humiliation and non-consensual online exposure. Particular attention was paid to the challenges faced by young women, including appearance-based criticism, sexualisation and the pressure to seek validation on social media.
Participants also developed practical skills for recognising psychological distress, regulating emotional responses, setting healthy digital boundaries and seeking appropriate support. The support-group format created a safe environment in which they could share experiences, exchange coping strategies and compare digital realities across the three partner countries.
The workshop concluded with individual action plans identifying personal risk situations, warning signs, support networks and practical responses.
The activity strengthened participants’ digital resilience, critical thinking and confidence, while promoting healthier and more responsible online behaviour.
Connect day France
Connect Day: AI, Internet Safety and Women’s Mental Well-being
On 28 May 2026, AJC hosted the French NAOMI Connect Day in Maurepas as a hybrid event, bringing together around 20 participants both online and in person. This final dissemination event presented the project’s achievements and encouraged dialogue among professionals working in violence prevention, mental health, digital inclusion, youth services, law and public administration.

An interactive seminar explored how digital technologies and artificial intelligence can facilitate coercive control, cyberstalking, location tracking, fake profiles, image-based abuse and other forms of violence against women.
The discussions also examined the potential and limitations of AI-powered support tools. While these technologies can improve access to information, participants stressed the importance of confidentiality, ethical safeguards, awareness of algorithmic bias and the continued involvement of trained professionals.
The event’s multidisciplinary format encouraged participants to share experiences, discuss practical challenges and identify opportunities for stronger cooperation between institutions. Particular attention was given to developing professionals’ digital skills and adapting support practices to rapidly evolving technologies.
The Connect Day successfully promoted the NAOMI project’s results while raising awareness of emerging digital risks. Participants highlighted the value of the resources presented and the need for further professional training on artificial intelligence, digital safety and technology-facilitated violence.
