ASEAN Cybersecurity Skilling Programme (ACSP) 8 April

Dear Guiders, Young Adults, GGS Members and Staff,

Girl Guides Singapore (GGS) is happy to share that we have been appointed as the only Local Implementing Partner in Singapore to support the ASEAN Cybersecurity Skilling Programme (ASEAN CSP) under the ASEAN Foundation. 

In line with one of our key focus of Gender Equality (Sustainable Development Goal #5), GGS hopes to create a greater interest and raise awareness in digital literacy, internet safety, cyber security among girls and young women. The ASEAN CSP aims to enhance the capacities of the ASEAN teachers, NGO/CSO facilitators, educators, youth job seekers and fresh graduates across 7 ASEAN-Member States to build a digital ecosystem for the ASEAN community on cybersecurity.

We would like to invite you to collaborate with us in the ASEAN CSP. We hope to get your involvement as a Beneficiary receiving knowledge on Cybersecurity through the Empowerment Sessions facilitated by Master Trainers through a series of self-directed and synchronous outreach sessions. 

Participants will have potential regional exposure, access to ASEAN Foundation’s huge network and can look forward to access to Microsoft’s resources on Cybersecurity. All participants will receive an e-certificate and a souvenir patch upon completion of the programme. 

For the Beneficiaries, here are the additional sessions in 2023. The first two sessions will be conducted on:

• 8 April
• Division Learning Days
