At IFDC, we believe that every child is a member of the digital world, and it's impossible for them to dissociate from this dynamic world. As digital citizens, children use digital tools for education and entertainment, but unfortunately, the internet exposes them to various dangers and unpleasant situations. Our mission is to give every child a healthy digital life, protect their digital rights, and educate them on digital well-being so that they can navigate the digital world safely.
Our #DigitalWise program area focuses on engaging children by providing them with need-based training and mentoring for the healthy use of the internet, mobile devices, gaming consoles, broadband, media networks, and various search engines. Our aim is to teach children how to lead balanced and healthy digital lives. We offer a range of mentoring programs for both children and parents on digital well-being, equipping them with the necessary tools to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.
This program is specifically designed to unlock and nurture the creative talents of children. We offer comprehensive training in creative media technologies, empowering young minds to freely express themselves, cultivate positive ideas, think critically about community issues, and explore their own identities. Aligned with the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, our ultimate goal is to empower every child to become a producer, rather than a mere consumer, of digital media.
Our program is specifically designed to document and research how internet platforms exploit children and compromise their rights and safety. Through the use of reliable data, our aim is to formulate strong advocacy for child protection in the online sphere. Additionally, we are dedicated to addressing insensitive media portrayals of children, harmful media content, and harnessing the power of ethical and responsible journalism to investigate issues affecting children and amplify their voices.
