for Generation Z & Alpha that is knowledgeable and Safe on digital environment
Z & Alpha Initiative is a pioneering project in Viet Nam, dedicated to enhancing digital awareness, digital skills, and mental well-being for young people in the technology era. We believe that a healthy digital world can only be built when the younger generations are equipped with deep knowledge, empathy, and enduring human values.
Z & Alpha Initiative operates at the intersection of research, education, and policy, aiming to build a healthy digital environment for young generations.
Our work involves:
- Conducting in-depth studies on the social, psychological, and behavioral impacts of the digital environment on adolescents.
- Providing policy recommendations and evidence-based insights for schools, parents, and regulatory bodies.
- Organizing training programs, workshops, and communication campaigns to raise community awareness about safe and healthy social media use.
