The proposed project activities include “development of a train-the-trainer certificate program with a peer-to-peer model to ensure that education is provided in a culturally relevant and accessible manner for all covered populations; conducting outreach and engagement, providing in-person trainings and tools and educational resources related to online privacy and cybersecurity; and partnering with internet service providers (ISPs) to promote cybersecurity education.”

Expected outcomes: the proposed projects will result in “increased awareness on the risks and threats associated with online activities, enabling them to make informed decisions; empowerment of individuals to protect themselves from cyber threats, such as phishing, scams, and identity theft; enhanced responsible behavior and etiquette in online interactions; promoting a positive digital community; improved data protection; increased media literacy enabling individuals to identify “Deepfakes” and online misinformation.”
