The "Kira" project is a Slovak educational initiative using a comic book to depict the ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine. Targeted at students, the comic aims to fill a gap in the Slovak educational system, where discussions about the war are often absent or minimized. By presenting the story of Kira, a Ukrainian girl who witnesses the destruction of her home and family, the comic aims to make students more resilient to disinformation and encourage critical thinking about the conflict. The project also seeks to counteract the widespread influence of Russian propaganda in Slovakia, particularly among the youth.

The environment of non-profit organizations tends to be dynamic. Combinations of full-time and part-time workers, volunteers, collaborating freelancers or students on internships are more common here than in corporate settings. Along with the lower budgets that nonprofits typically work with, this vibrancy often translates into some team members using their own equipment or software to do their work. However, this makes it impossible to have a central administration that can, for example, ensure a deadline for mandatory password changes or enforce updates. This makes it all the more necessary to rely on the personal responsibility of team members and to encourage them to follow at least basic security rules.
