For the second time, young people gathered to participate in a training aimed at empowering them with essential skills for the digital age.
The event buzzed with excitement, as the room filled with the chatter of eager learners, their notebooks ready, and minds set to absorb every bit of wisdom shared.
At the forefront was Christopher Kalema a digital innovation enthusiast, the lead trainer whose calm demeanour and approachable style quickly won the hearts of the young attendees.
“Safety online isn’t just about protecting ourselves,” he began, his words deliberate, “it’s also about how we share with others responsibly.”
The learners leaned in closer, curious to unravel the layers of this concept. Chris delved into stories of online kindness, cyber bullying, advantages and disadvantages of the digital spaces, cautionary tales of misplaced trust, and the transformative power of using digital platforms for good. With every example, he reminded them that the internet is a shared space, one that grows safer and better when used thoughtfully.
Hands shot up, questions poured in, and Chris patiently answered each, encouraging dialogue and mutual learning. By the end of the session, the young participants not only left with practical strategies but also a renewed sense of responsibility to be ethical and cautious digital citizens.
