We are going to organise a cybersecurity week with the marketing department's support, and I need to help determine relevant actions, such as workshops. We have been thinking of having three workshops. 1. Meet the team 2. Security Basics 3. Protect your child on social media Can you help me with some relevant activities and promotional material ideas? Moreover, do you think it's a good idea to have a specific session to meet the team or embed this into other workshops to make it more interactive?

Hi there, I agree with Lawrence, some additional context like the type of organization would be good.
Most Information Security staff are not people-people. Do you have a specific goal in mind for the meet the team workshop? If so make sure you communicate it with your staff first.
Security basics is always good, phishing, good passwords, general awareness.
Protecting your child on social media is very specific to your customers.
I would also look at doing a specific set of sessions that are topical to high risk areas in your organization. Perhaps HR/payroll may be a good audience for payroll scams, or the finance staff could be an audience for something like handling/protecting payment card information.
HTH,

It would be helpful to have more context. The first two ideas apply everywhere, but the third is specific to parents/caregivers.
Try to integrate topics which are important to the company, with topics that staff can use outside of work, like a short workshop on identifying phishing emails.
Workshops are good for interaction and since the prompt says "security week" then there can be multi-part workshops that build upon each other. Try to monitor the groups to see when participants are approaching overload, then switch the activity or end the day before attendees tune out on your message(es).
