Digital growth is an inevitable part of modern life, woven into everyday life. The Internet astronomically amplifies everything and has the capacity of unlocking global scale economic and social opportunities, whilst equally exposing catastrophic risk, even for the remotest village dweller performing the simplest cyber-based task.
A Cyber Citizen recognises that everyone and anyone can be part of the global digital value-chain. Our program addresses crucial behavioural patterns, highlights risks, focuses on safety, literacy, opportunity identification and harnessing a growth mindset for internet is use.
This program, through a thematic approach, will produce an ICT literate individual from a consumer, citizen, service provider, youth, private and public sector perspective.
We deliver the above through training, teaching and awareness programs stemming from:
- Domestic and International ICT Laws - POPIA, Cyber-crimes Bill, GDPR and more
- A compilation of basic digital skills - Content Creation, Online Safety Tools, Digital Economy and more
- Constitutionalism - Rights embedded in internet use
- Good governance and best practice - Sensitisation of internet-based standards, values and ethics
- Emerging technologies for social and economic participation - blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, big data and more
Africa’s goal of breaking the economic and digital divide without a plan, is just a wish. Being a Cyber Citizen actively works towards this goal and helps all of us walk the talk.
