The initiative spanned beyond the capital city, extending to Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar, Kokchetav, Karaganda, Aktobe, Aktau, and Petropavlovsk. The format was chosen based on the age and Level of Digital Preparedness of the participating students.
Real-life internet scenarios were emphasized to help children understand and navigate potential digital threats. Open discussions, led by specialists from the company, answered participants' questions and highlighted crucial aspects of digital safety.
Children were taught crucial digital safety skills, including protecting personal data, recognizing online threats, and behaving safely online. These meetings not only imparted important knowledge but also bolstered their confidence in the digital world.
As part of the overall "Children of Kazakhstan" project, this digital safety initiative aims to enhance children's education, healthcare, and social support systems, fostering a brighter future for the country's youth.
MZhRKRIAP is a Kazakh organization focused on children's rights and welfare, often collaborating with government agencies or similar organizations to educate children about safe internet practices, online protection, and digital literacy.
This initiative, among others, emphasizes the importance of digital safety education, focusing on topics such as cyberbullying, online harassment, and internet navigation safety.Details regarding the specifics of this initiative can be obtained from official sources or by contacting MZhRKRIAP directly.
I, as a student, have been fortunate to learn about cybersecurity and internet safety as part of the digital safety initiative in Ust-Kamenogorsk, a region covered by Kazakhstan's national project, "Children of Kazakhstan." Being taught about protecting personal data, recognizing online threats, and behaving safely online has significantly contributed to my education-and-self-development in the technology sector.
