DiGi recently announced its 5th Digi CyberSAFE Schools Programme and month-long Video Script Competition in collaboration with CyberSecurity Malaysia, Childline Malaysia and the Ministry of Education. The Digi CyberSAFE Schools Programe is designed to improve awareness of students and teachers to protect themselves digitally on the Internet, teaching safe online practices and positive digital citizenship. In conjunction with this, DiGi also launched their Digi CyberSAFE Video Script Competition from 7 August 2015 to 31 August 2015 for all secondary schoolchildren to submit scripts or homemade video of not more than 5 minutes on Internet Safety and Resiliency. Winners may walk away with an RM2000 grand prize and RM1000 runner-up prize. The CyberSAFE in School 2015 Survey will also be carried out to understand the various new online risks encountered by our children along with their current level of Digital resiliency. Here's what DiGi had to say about it:
“We are committed in enabling the internet for more people in Malaysia and are looking to inspire as well as ensure a family-friendly and safe internet experience for all, especially children by building digital resilience and fostering responsible digital citizenship among them. As part of our ‘Empowering Societies’ initiative, we at Digi are dedicated in protecting the young ones from the rising risk of cyber threats and look towards encouraging the positive use of the internet. Aside from awareness workshops in schools and training teachers, the programme has also attained zero rate calls to the Childline 15999, developed content such as the edutainment video, and has worked with Interpol to block child sexual abuse material sites. We at Digi strive to make the internet a safe environment for everyone” Philip Ling, Digi’s Programme Manager for Sustainability
