On November 13th 2025 Hermann Grieder and Janine Jäger from the Digital Trust Competence Center welcomed 20 girls to our “Cyberhero Transformation” workshop at FHNW School of Business. The day was dedicated to one central theme: digital responsibility.

Children today encounter the online world at an early age and not always only in positive ways. This makes it essential for them to learn from the beginning how to navigate the internet responsibly and safely. It was all the more impressive to see how much awareness and knowledge the participants already brought with them, thanks to digital education at home as well as important prevention work carried out by schools and the police.

Workshop Higlights included:

• A meeting with the robot Pepper, offering fascinating insights into how AI works and which risks are associated with it
• A gamified challenge covering five key aspects of digital responsibility:
  • Distinguishing opinion from information
  • Privacy
  • Secure passwords
  • Online fraud
  • Responsible online behavior
• A behind-the-scenes look at AI-generated images and how they can be used for deception

National Future Day once again highlighted an important fact: Digital responsibility is not a topic for the future. It starts now and is relevant for every age group.

At our Digital Trust Competence Center we look forward to continuing to empower the next generation to shape a digital world built on responsibility and trust.
