    STAYING SAFE WHILE EXPLORING

                                                      The digital world offers exciting opportunities, but not everything
                                                      online  is  safe. Be  cautious  and verify websites  before  trusting
                                                      them. Never share personal details or click on unknown links. Use
                                                      strong  passwords  and  ask  a  trusted  adult  if something  online
                                                      makes you uncomfortable.

                     BEING RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIBLE

                     Being part of the digital world means behaving responsibly. Use kind
                     words, avoid hurtful comments and credit others for their work. Never
                     bully or spread rumours online. Respect others’ opinions and use the
                     Internet honestly, as your online actions leave a lasting impact.

                               UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

                     Every time you go online, you leave behind a digital footprint—traces
                     of your activities. These can be positive or negative, depending on how
                     you use the Internet. Understanding your digital footprint helps you
                     make safer choices online.

                     the websites you visit, videos you watch, photos you upload, games
                     you play and posts you share.
