With the rapid increase in cybersecurity threats, digital identity theft, the spread of misinformation, hate speech, cyberbullying and gender-based violence on the Internet, etc., Governments across the world are increasingly concerned about the safe and secure use of digital technologies and online information. In particular, the role of social media and the risks it carries for citizens and society have gained significant attention over the past years and prompted policy makers to implement policies and standards as well as share best practices. This session will explore how such risks could be addressed and mitigated through digital education and skills development programmes. It will feature various stakeholders and showcase best practice examples of how to educate citizens on the safe and secure use of online information.
