About
DIST – Digital Strength is a forward-thinking European project dedicated to tackling cyber-violence and empowering young people and professionals in vocational education and training (VET). By raising awareness, building practical skills, and promoting inclusive values, DIST creates safer digital environments where diversity, tolerance, and mutual respect can thrive.
Through collaboration across institutions, sectors, and countries, the project strengthens the capacity of individuals and organisations to recognise, prevent, and counteract cyber-violence, fostering more resilient, inclusive communities both online and offline.
Goals and objectives

Support VET professionals with practical tools to promote inclusion, tolerance, and diversity.
Foster civic engagement, active participation, and shared European values among learners.
Develop innovative, transferable approaches that integrate inclusion and anti-discrimination into VET.
DIST is designed for those who need it most
- Young people in vocational education and training, especially those facing marginalisation
- VET professionals working directly with learners and communities
- Stakeholders, educators, policymakers, and organisations shaping education and social inclusion
Whether you are learning, teaching, or shaping policy, DIST provides the tools and support to help you make a meaningful impact.
Project Results
DIST delivers a comprehensive set of practical resources and outcomes to drive real change. These include a European research report on cyber-violence, innovative workshop materials and training programmes, and hands-on learning experiences for both young people and professionals.
The project also produces implementation strategies and policy recommendations to influence decision-makers, alongside a wide-reaching awareness and dissemination campaign. Together, these results ensure long-term impact, scalability, and the transfer of knowledge across sectors and communities.
