Zindagi Trust has partnered with the fastest growing global video-making platform TikTok with the aim of creating an awareness campaign for a digitally safe Pakistan. Both parties have signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and announced the partnership on Safer Internet Day on February 8 in Islamabad.
The shared goal of this campaign is to conduct a series of workshops for Zindagi Trust’s adopted schools, Khatoon-e-Pakistan, and SMB Fatima Jinnah School in Karachi. The topics of the workshop will tackle multiple themes regarding cyber safety such as safety features on TikTok, harmful behaviors prevalent on social media, how to share appropriate information, how to identify fake news, and how to report harmful content on social media.
