Magic Bus India Foundation, in collaboration with Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS), successfully organized a Cyber Security Awareness Program for migrant youth at the Ennore Don Bosco Youth Animation Centre. The program was conducted with the objective of creating awareness among migrant youth about cyber safety, digital risks, and preventive measures in an increasingly digital world.
The session was led by Mr. Timothy, who served as the resource person for the program. He provided a detailed and practical explanation of various cyber threats and online scams, including phishing, fake job offers, online fraud, identity theft, and misuse of personal information. The session focused on helping participants understand how cybercriminals operate and how individuals can protect themselves while using mobile phones, social media, and online platforms.
A total of 47 migrant youth participated in the program and showed active interest throughout the session. The participants engaged enthusiastically in discussions, shared their personal experiences, and raised questions related to cyber safety and digital usage. Mr. Timothy addressed their queries patiently and provided clear guidance on safe online practices, such as protecting passwords, avoiding suspicious links, and reporting cybercrime.
The program proved to be highly relevant and impactful, as many participants acknowledged that they had limited awareness of cyber security risks before the session. The interactive nature of the program helped the youth gain confidence in identifying cyber scams and responding appropriately. The collaboration between Magic Bus India Foundation and DBMS ensured effective outreach and meaningful engagement with the migrant youth community.
Overall, the Cyber Security Awareness Program was successful in equipping migrant youth with essential knowledge and skills to navigate the digital space safely. Such initiatives contribute significantly to the empowerment and protection of migrant youth and reinforce the commitment of Magic Bus India Foundation and DBMS toward their holistic development and well-being.
