In a fractured global society, the quest for human connection and a sense of belonging has never been more challenging.

More than half the world’s population is now using the internet and participation is rapidly growing. In countries where digital engagement is firmly established, being online is all but essential to everyday life. But having access is not enough.

People must be equipped with the tools and skills to effectively navigate and engage in a networked digital society. They need to become critical thinkers conscious of their online rights and responsibilities.

Fostering digital citizenship through engagement and education empowers us all.
