ACTUA

Purpose

This 48-month project will enable Actua to develop innovative on- and offline programming that empowers girls and young women to critically assess online interactions and threats in ways that reduce cyber-violence and promote positive digital and community citizenship. Approaches and content will be tested to ensure that they are appropriate to a range of ages and youth populations, particularly those that are economically and socially marginalized. The project will then develop a plan to scale-up learnings for inclusion in a variety of existing Actua programs and will share lessons with influential stakeholders through thought leadership activities.
