About the Project
The “Digitalization, Life is Your Creation” initiative aims to empower young people by fostering their active and responsible participation as digital citizens. The project seeks to enhance essential digital literacy skills while promoting responsible and ethical values. Participants will gain critical thinking abilities to navigate the digital landscape and will be encouraged to reflect on their online presence, manage digital footprints, and preserve personal information.
One of the key objectives of the project is to stimulate thoughtful discussions on the ethical challenges associated with digital citizenship. Additionally, the program addresses the issue of cyberbullying by raising awareness among both victims and witnesses. Participants will be encouraged to consider different perspectives, including the roles of both the cyberbully and the victim, fostering empathy and a deeper understanding of the impact of digital actions.
Through innovative and engaging activities, the project aims to create supportive and positive online communities. By encouraging dialogue on digital ethics, it helps participants understand their individual responsibilities in building a safe and respectful digital environment.
