Workshop: Safe on the Internet – a Comic Project in Bochum

Navigating the Internet Safely with Comics: a Workshop with a Fresh Perspective on Digital Everyday Safety

At the workshop Safe on the Internet – a Comic Project as part of Digi-Mobil on Tour, media literacy meets creativity. On June 24, 2026, the district office Hamme in Bochum will become a place for exchange, participation, and new perspectives on digital safety in everyday life. The project “Safety on the Internet” addresses this need and offers regular free events in Bochum covering deep fakes, fake news, hate speech, and digital protection.

A Workshop that Makes Knowledge Visible

The title already indicates the direction: This is not just about theory but a creative format that makes safety on the internet understandable and tangible. This fits well with the Bochum Smart-City idea, which aims to strengthen the digital everyday life of the city with practical offerings. The combination of media education and comic projects creates a lively event experience with easy access for diverse target groups.
