The project will have its own dedicated website that will serve as a central hub for sharing information, resources, updates, & progress related to the project's goals & activities. It will likely be a platform for parents, educators,& other stakeholders to access valuable information and materials.
· PDP In-service Training Programme for Adult Educators. This training program will focus on equipping adult educators & trainers with the necessary skills & knowledge to effectively educate parents about digital & media literacy. Educators working in the field of adult education will gain insights into best practices for teaching parents how to navigate the digital world & guide their children's online experiences
