The Roles of the Youth in Online Safety
Language: English (mozilla)

With the advancement in technology, our lives are made easier since we could all mostly do basic things on our phone. Gradually, the cyber space has become a part of us - we cannot do without it. Whiles we enjoy the freedom that comes with the cyber space, the bad actors are also busy formulating strategies and means to exploit the vulnerabilities of people through dubious means. This poses a danger to all of us because a cyber breach of one person could go a long way to affect others, be it personal or corporate settings.

Participants would be will at the end of the session be able to:
1. pick practical tips to ensure their online safety,
2. become more mindful about their digital footprints they live behind

The session is ideal for anyone who uses the internet and other digital tools in their engagements.
