UNDERSTANDING AND USING THE INTERNET: AfricTivistes and Sunu Digital Rights provide guidance for educators

AfricTivistes and Sunu Digital Rights have decided to join forces to help parents and parents-to-be better educate their children in the digital age. A training session has therefore been scheduled for Wednesday 20 January.

“WhatsApp updates and their impact on fundamental rights; personal data protection; and young people’s wellbeing in the digital world.” All these issues will be addressed next Wednesday during a training session organised by AfricTivistes and Sunu Digital Rights. This training is open to everyone, but is particularly aimed at educators. Through this initiative, the two organisations aim to promote and defend freedom of expression online, the protection of personal data (respect for privacy) and net neutrality. At the same time, they aim to help citizens understand how the internet works and the conditions for its democratic, educational and cultural use. As part of their wider objectives, AfricTivistes and Sunu Digital Rights are committed to informing users of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the internet about the conditions under which they can exercise and protect their rights and fulfil their obligations. Furthermore, to help internet users and public sector stakeholders better understand the challenges relating to the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from both a legal and technical perspective. Ultimately, the two organisations aim to promote digital literacy.
