Trainers from a range of backgrounds were equipped in cybersecurity, digital risk assessment and safe online practice, with the content adapted for Sri Lankan media professionals. The second programme opened with a recap and a working session on the curriculum and materials themselves, with the trainers shaping what they would go on to teach.
