Excitement filled the air at Meritah Primary School in Mukono as we embarked on a journey to promote digital safety and empower students with essential e-safety skills. It was an honor to lead an e-safety training session, utilizing the fantastic toolkit provided by the Internet Society Uganda Chapter, all in celebration of #SaferInternetDay2024.
As the a Project Associate of Maendeleo Foundation, I am deeply passionate about equipping individuals, especially young learners, with the knowledge and tools to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. Safer Internet Day provided the perfect platform to amplify this mission and engage with the community on critical issues surrounding online safety.
The collaboration between Maendeleo Foundation and the Internet Society Uganda Chapter was instrumental in making this event possible. Together, we combined our resources, expertise, and dedication to create an impactful training session that empowered students to become responsible digital citizens.
Throughout the training, we delved into various aspects of e-safety, covering topics such as cybersecurity, privacy protection, and responsible online behavior. Using the toolkit provided by the Internet Society Uganda Chapter, we facilitated interactive discussions, practical exercises, and informative presentations aimed at enhancing students’ digital literacy and awareness.
I am immensely grateful to Maendeleo Foundation for joining forces with the Internet Society Uganda Chapter to make this event a success. Together, we are making a tangible difference in promoting digital safety and fostering a culture of responsible digital citizenship within our community.
As we celebrate Safer Internet Day 2024, let us reaffirm our commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive online environment for all. By working together and equipping ourselves with the necessary e-safety skills, we can ensure that the internet remains a valuable resource for learning, communication, and collaboration.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this event, and here’s to many more initiatives aimed at promoting digital safety and empowering individuals to thrive in the digital age.
Stay tuned for updates on future events and initiatives by Maendeleo Foundation and the Internet Society Uganda Chapter as we continue our mission to create a safer and more secure online world for all.
