Grameenphone and UNICEF observed international ‘Safer Internet Day’ at the International School Dhaka (ISD) in the capital yesterday, says a press release.  The event was organised to build better awareness around the safety measures that both students and guardians can adopt to ensure a positive digital learning experience.

At least 250 students were provided a better understanding of online safety through a gamified journey designed to help children to develop the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the online world in a safer and more enjoyable way. The Child Online Safety Programme is Grameenphone’s flagship initiative to ensure a safer online experience for children in an increasingly digital environment. It has been driving online safety since 2014 and partnered with UNICEF in 2018 to expand the programme to educate and sensitize 400,000 children, aged between 11 to 16 years, and 70,000 parents and guardians.
