EUROPOL have developed a collection of downloadable materials to help teachers bring cyber safety lessons to life, both in and out of the game. These ready-to-use resources make it easy to guide students through the Cyber Defenders experience while linking gameplay to real-world online safety practices.
Roblox is a popular platform among young users, with over 8 million daily users in Europe estimated to be aged 12 or younger. Despite the platform’s popularity, media reports indicate that there is a significant lack of awareness among both young users and their parents about the potential risks on the platform. To address this issue, Europol has developed a game called Cyber Defenders.
