Internet Safety for School students
Jaagoteens has addressed close to 1.2 lakh students and teachers using varied teaching methods. We've done 400 workshops at schools and colleges and several events at World Book Fair, Bal Bhavan, Raahgiri etc. JaagoTeens, a Registered Society, was born eleven years ago in April 2010 when we noticed that the youth in India are delving into internet space without being aware that the Internet holds not just positive, but also negative elements. We hope Gen Z or the Zoomers are able to transform themselves into digitally empowered netizens by learning how to use the Internet Safely and Responsibly.
