The conference for parents, DIGITAL PARENTHOOD, which was held for the first time by the Digital School in Prishtina, brought together parents, educators, psychologists and experts to discuss various topics from the field of cybersecurity, social media, games and cyberbullying, very necessary for parenting in the digital age.
