School-Based Workshops

Away from Keyboard (AFK) Inc. offers free in-person and online sessions for schools, designed to support students, parents, and educators in building confidence, safety, and digital wellbeing in an ever-changing online world. All sessions are trauma-informed, utilise resources from the eSafety Commissioner, and are delivered with compassion, drawing on lived experience and practical advice.

We believe every family deserves access to clear, judgment-free digital safety education, regardless of their location.

Helping young people become safe, respectful, and aware digital citizens.

Our student workshops are age-appropriate, interactive, and grounded in real-life examples. We cover topics such as cyberbullying, gaming safety, social media use, privacy, scams, and managing screen time. Students leave with practical strategies, stronger critical thinking, and the reassurance that it’s okay to ask for help.

Workshop titles include:

• Level Up: How to Stay Safe While Gaming and Chatting Online
   
• You’re Not Alone: Handling Cyberbullying and Building Digital Resilience

Helping you feel confident in guiding your child’s online world.

Our parent sessions are honest, practical, and non-judgmental. We help carers understand the risks children may face online, such as grooming, coercion, or exposure to harmful content, and how to respond effectively. We also talk through ways to build trust, set healthy boundaries, and navigate gaming, apps, and devices with confidence.
