Killannin Community Centre, Ireland, H91 N5DC
Thursday 5 March 2026
The Think Smart Cyber Safety Initiative is a multi-award-winning programme dedicated to safeguarding the mental health, education, and future of our young people in County Galway.
We are bringing the Think Smart Collaborative community talk to the communities of Rosscahill, Oughterard and Moycullen
This event will bring together parents, educators, and community leaders to address the growing risks our youth face daily while using smart devices and social media. These risks include:
In light of recent events with AI and Grok, this support is never more needed. The rapid evolution of technology and AI-driven platforms has amplified these risks, making it critical for communities to act now.
The mission is clear: to educate and empower families and communities to protect our youth online. Think Smart has already delivered this talk to thousands of parents, educators, and community across Galway and the west with incredible impact.
Speakers on the night:
We welcome all local schools (both primary and secondary), and all clubs and organisations to attend the event and learn how we can help safeguard our youth and their futures online.
Together, we can prevent tragedy, build resilience, and create a safer future for our young people.
NOTE: Please book early to secure your spot as limited tickets are available and are expected to sell out again.
