CfDP

What CfDP does

Center for Digital Pædagogik (CfDP) is a Danish self-governing social enterprise founded in 2004 under the parent organization KFUM's Sociale Arbejde, with headquarters in Viby (Aarhus) and a secondary office in Copenhagen. The organization specializes in digital pedagogy and anonymous counseling for children and youth in Denmark, operating a portfolio of specialized digital counseling platforms — Cyberhus.dk (general youth support up to age 25), Netstof.dk (substance counseling for ages 14–25, with 35+ member municipalities), Scammed.dk (gaming skin-trade fraud victims), and Grænseløst.dk (sexual boundaries and sugardating awareness) — collectively generating 1.5+ million page views annually.

Complementing these platforms, CfDP delivers school curricula (Dit Liv på Nettet, sold as a 5,000 DKK annual municipal subscription covering nearly half of Denmark's municipalities), family-facing tools (Familiens Værdikompas, Digitalt Dialogspil), intervention programs (Gaming Gruppen with Aarhus Municipality, Ung-til-Ung workshops run by youth dialogue creators), and media products (Samspil and SkærmSnak podcasts, Skinnet Bedrager film). Underlying delivery is a "Digitalpædagogisk metode" — a methodology refined since 2004 combining SMS, chat, forum, and mail-based anonymous support delivered by approximately 30 paid staff and 40 volunteers.

Revenue is a hybrid model anchored on Danish municipal subscriptions and project-based foundation grants (Trygfonden, VELUX FONDEN, A.P. Møller Fonden, Nordea-fonden, Offerfonden), supplemented by presentation/workshop fees and physical product sales (dialogue games). CfDP holds privileged institutional positioning as a Safer Internet Centre Denmark helpline partner (since 2009), won KL's Forebyggelsespris in 2021 jointly with 26 municipalities, and currently runs multi-year research collaborations including the 2024–2027 Rådvild project with Aarhus University. The organization reinvests surplus into new social projects for children and youth and operates without external venture capital.
