As part of the project "Jungle - Online Hate", we would like to extend a special invitation to take part in our program about cyber violence and prevention in mobile music and dance apps (developed as part of the "Let IT Dance" project). The presentation at the JKU's Circus of Knowledge features judges from the Regional Court in Steyr holding presentation on the above-mentioned topics for students at upper level schools. Following the presentation, participants will create podcasts as an educational resource, and to support (legal) safety and prevention for younger girls (lower grades). The workshops and podcasts will be presented as educational material and will also be published and advertised online.

Dr. Christoph Mayer
Raised in Steyr, Dr. Mayer studied law at the University of Vienna, completed his judicial education in the district of the Linz Higher Regional Court; was appointed judge on April 1, 2001; served as Vice-President of the Regional Court in Steyr between 2010 and 2021; has served as President of the Regional Court in Steyr since January 1, 2022.

"Cybercrime is a relatively recent phenomenon that is growing rapidly and posing serious challenges to the judicial system; under the guise of anonymity, messenger apps are turning into a trap. As an impassioned juvenile court judge, I am very focused on the young people's positive growth. Each crime is one too many for both victims and perpetrators. Prevention is important. This is why I am also involved in the "Let IT Dance!" project."

Dr. Christina Forstner
Raised in Enns, Dr. Forstner studied at law at the University of Linz and in Graz, completed her judicial education in the district of the Linz Higher Regional Court; was appointed judge on June 1, 2005 at the Vienna Regional Court for Criminal Cases; has served at the Regional Court in Steyr since Jan. 1, 2012, and has served as Vice-President of the Regional Court in Steyr since Feb. 1, 2022.

"I believe cybercrimes are dangerous due to the presence of a large part of the population, and especially children and adolescents, on the Internet. This means there are a large number of potential victims, and combating cybercrimes is difficult for offenders due to anonymity online and countless technical options available. As almost every child and teen now has a high-quality cell phone camera, sexual acts in particular play a major role when it comes to cybercrimes, and women and young girls in particular are the victims. To prevent cybercrime, we must focus on educating (female) adolescents about the internet and all its potential as well as dangers. I would like to support this campaign as part of the "Let IT Dance" project."
