“HOVORY”
Certificate Program

“HOVORY” is a certificate program for adults who work with children and want to implement a modern child protection system in their school, community, or organization. The program teaches how to create a safe environment where every child feels supported and where adults know how to act in the child's best interests.

Participants do not learn abstract theory about safety, but rather become familiar with concrete steps, recommendations, and tools to make child protection systematic, effective, and part of everyday practice.

Through the program, you will receive:

1. Ready-to-use materials for working with children
Materials are structured by age group (primary, middle, and high school) and include online courses, exercises, posters, and interactive tasks that teach children the rules of personal safety.

2. Support for educators and teams
Guides with lesson plans, instructions for teachers and parents, and advice on how to talk to children about sensitive topics.

3. A model for building a safe environment
Key elements of a safeguarding system and practical steps to help create an atmosphere of trust and support in schools and child-friendly spaces.

4. Professional development and expert support
Online meetings with experts from the Child Dignity Center. After successful completion of the program, participants receive a certificate worth 1 ECTS credit.

Learning format: online and asynchronous — you study at a time that is convenient for you.

The program is helpful for:

• teachers and teaching teams;
• school leadership and safety coordinators;
• libraries and children’s leisure centers;
• NGOs and youth organizations working with children;
• teams implementing educational, sports, or cultural programs for children.
