The problem

Most online harm that reaches ordinary people is not clever hacking. It is a message, a call or an advert that rushes someone into paying or sharing a code. For parents, the worry is children who are online early and every day. Material for a session on either subject is hard to find in plain Greek: every number needs checking, the right local help contacts have to be found, and the language has to work for people with no technical background. I wrote the material myself.

What it does

There are two talks, each a ten-slide Greek deck with speaker notes, a one-sheet handout and a numbered source list.

  • Talk 1, for the general public: «Ασφαλείς στο διαδίκτυο» (Staying safe online). For adults with no technical background, older people, small shop owners and the teenagers who come with them. It covers what most attacks look like, passwords, two-step sign-in, fake messages and calls, scams, ransomware, AI voice and video fakes, a safety checklist and the first hour after an incident.
  • Talk 2, for parents: «Τα παιδιά μας με ασφάλεια στο διαδίκτυο» (Keeping children safe online). For parents, grandparents and guardians. It covers what children meet online (bullying, strangers, blackmail with photos, in-game purchases, endless video, shared location) and what parents can do: warning signs, age limits, free controls on each device, a checklist by age and where to get help in Greece.

Every slide gives one threat, one reason to care and one thing to do. The examples, laws and help numbers are Greek, and both talks are free.

How it works

  1. A talk is a ten-slide PowerPoint file, also exported as a PDF with the fonts embedded.

  2. Every slide has speaker notes written to be said aloud, with pauses and questions for the audience.

  3. The handout is one A4 sheet, both sides, in large type, with a checklist and the help contacts.

  4. Laws and figures carry the date they were checked, and the source list lets each one be verified.

  5. The talks carry my name, so anyone presenting them would change the introduction by hand.

Key features

Two talks for two audiences

The general talk is about scams, passwords, fake messages and calls, and what to do in the first hour. The parents' talk is about what children do online, the main risks, supervision by age and the free controls on each device. Each ends with a checklist and the Greek help contacts.

Talk 1, for the general public: «Ασφαλείς στο διαδίκτυο»
Talk 2, for parents: «Τα παιδιά μας με ασφάλεια στο διαδίκτυο»
Talk 1: how most attacks look, and the three signs of a scam
Talk 2: the main risks for children, in plain words

What the audience can do afterwards

After the general talk, people can save the police cybercrime line and their bank's number, spot the three signs of a scam (a link, a hurry, a request for codes or card details), turn on two-step sign-in and automatic updates, agree a family safe word, and follow four steps if something happens. After the parents' talk, people can start a calm conversation with a child, recognise warning signs, set up the free controls on one device together with the child, and know what to do and whom to call if a child is blackmailed with a photo.

Talk 2: the family checklist by age

Built to be presented

The speaker notes are written to be said aloud. Each talk has a one-sheet handout in PDF and Word, and a PDF of the slides. Nine slides have editable visuals, and six have QR codes to official help pages.

Speaker notes on every slide
  • Greek first

    The published edition is Greek. A glossary explains 127 terms in plain words. English and Turkish drafts were built from the same content, with the same numbers and sources, and stay unpublished until I have read them myself.

  • Every figure has a source

    Every number on a slide has a numbered source with title, publisher, date, link and a fact-check verdict. Where sources disagree, the talk uses the more conservative figure. Organisations hit by incidents are named only where they confirmed it publicly. The most sensitive figures stay in the speaker notes, next to helpline numbers.

Security and privacy

  • Static files only: PowerPoint, Word and PDF. No account, no tracking, no app to install.
  • The slides contain no personal data. The notes say to blur personal data and remove live links if a real scam message is ever added as an example.
  • QR codes point only to official help pages that passed a link check.
  • Password advice follows current NIST and UK NCSC guidance: length over complexity, and no forced regular changes.

Under the hood

The content lives in plain text files, one set per talk and language. Python scripts build the slides, the branded deck and the handout from those files. A check script verifies the slide count, titles, bullet length, banned characters and that every source is defined and used.

I built the talks by directing a team of AI agents with separate roles, and I kept every brief and log. Research agents gathered sources with the pages opened. Three independent fact-check agents re-checked 366 items: 15 failed and were dropped, and 22 were corrected. The drafts were written from verified findings only. A panel of AI reviewer personas, each playing a non-technical audience member, scored every slide for clarity and usefulness. After translation, a naturalness pass and a back-translation check looked for changes in meaning. A final check opened 236 links and confirmed all 15 help contacts on their official pages. I set the scope and the content rules, I decide the open questions, and I review the final files.

Limits: the talks are written for Greece, so the examples, laws and help numbers are Greek. They have not been presented to an audience yet, and the files are not offered for download on this site. The first edition was finished in October 2026.
