The Internet Society Ghana Chapter successfully organised an online safety outreach for girls in Breman Asikuma, Central Region, in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, Midwife Safia, and Heritage Christian University. The outreach brought together 2,986 girls drawn from public and private schools across the district, with over 300 girls receiving one-on-one practical engagement and training.The Internet Society Ghana Chapter is proud to reflect on the successful completion of the maiden TVET Online Trust and Safety Programme, the flagship first phase of our National Online Safety Outreach 2026, held under the theme:
From 13th–17th July 2026, our dedicated team of facilitators, volunteers and partners travelled across the Ashanti Region, delivering practical, hands-on digital safety training to more than 1,200 students from over 20 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
Rather than traditional lectures, the programme was designed to provide learners with real-world cybersecurity skills they could immediately apply to protect themselves, their families and their communities online.

Across every venue, classrooms were transformed into interactive digital safety labs, with learners actively participating in cyber hygiene, scam detection, fake jobs et.
These moments reinforced a powerful lesson: digital trust is built through informed choices and everyday online habits.
Beyond the classroom, the outreach also created an important platform for strategic engagement. Throughout the programme, the President of the Internet Society Ghana Chapter held a series of stakeholder engagements with TVET institutional leaders, educators and key decision-makers to explore how digital technologies can further strengthen technical and vocational education. Central to these discussions was the need to ensure that online trust, safety and digital resilience are embedded as essential components of digital transformation within the TVET ecosystem, preparing learners not only with technical competencies but also with the knowledge to thrive safely in an increasingly connected world.
