October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us all to take a closer look at how we use and protect our digital tools. The initiative, launched globally more than 20 years ago, aims to raise awareness about online risks and provide practical steps everyone can take to stay safe.

From choosing strong passwords to recognizing phishing attempts, these habits help build a safer digital environment for families, schools, and communities. At Logiscool, we see cybersecurity not just as a technical skill, but as an essential part of digital literacy for children. This month is a great opportunity to talk with children about online safety and strengthen the habits that protect them every day.
Code Week is a grassroots initiative that takes place every October across Europe and beyond, aiming to bring coding and digital skills to everyone in a fun and engaging way. Curious why programming is such a valuable skill?

At Logiscool, we are proud to participate in this inspiring event — many of our schools are opening their doors with free coding classes for children. It’s a wonderful opportunity for Scoolers-to-be to experience how exciting and accessible programming can be. You can also find our programs on the official Code Week website: https://codeweek.eu/
A new Logiscool survey in CEE reveals a striking paradox: while parents rank digital literacy among the most important skills for their children’s future, many admit they lack the knowledge and confidence to support them at home.

How can families bridge this divide—and what role should schools and parents play together?
