About the Course

The use of digital media and platforms has become a seamless extension of everyday life for many people across the world, and, in response to the global pandemic, this has become even more deeply entrenched. While vast inequalities exist, digital platform use is steadily increasing across the globe. Safe navigation of these digital spaces is a critical issue.
Whereas many digital safety programmes are focused on digital security, a term which mostly takes into account the protection of digital assets and information, it is vitally important that young people are given tools to maximise their digital safety, a more holistic approach that covers all aspects of potential dangers and harms might encounter in the digital space. There is no point in encouraging young people to limit their digital engagement, as traditional safety programmes have tended to do. This course will be a practical resource that takes into account the realities of our digital world.

    Digital safety is a whole-of-society responsibility, so we work with industry partners, civil society, and others to tackle the challenge of keeping users safe. At Microsoft, we approach digital safety through investment and activity in pillars: platform architecture, content moderation, building culture, and collaboration.

    The most useful and impressive part of the course was learning about digital privacy, security, and online safety. Understanding how to protect personal data, recognize online threats, and use reporting mechanisms effectively has been valuable. The course also highlighted how digital empowerment comes from awareness and responsible online behavior, helping create a safer and more inclusive digital space for everyone.
