On 25 & 26 September 2026, Digital Rights Nepal (DRN), in partnership with UNDP Nepal and Swiss agency for development and cooperation (SDC), under the Advancing Civic Engagement for Democratic Participation (Civic Engagement) Project, successfully conducted the Digital Rights & Safety School in Koshi Province.

The training brought together young people and youth-led civil society representatives to explore digital rights, online safety, information integrity, media literacy, and meaningful civic engagement in digital spaces.

Through interactive discussions, practical exercises, and scenario-based activities, participants explored how to:

Understand digital rights and safety

Identify misinformation, disinformation, and manipulated content

Navigate online harms, harassment, hate speech, and TFGBV

Strengthen personal digital safety and resilience

Practice responsible and constructive digital citizenship

Use digital platforms to engage with communities and public institutions

Turn learning into action for safer, inclusive, and rights-respecting digital civic spaces

The School is part of a broader effort to build a resilient network of informed and digitally empowered youth who can contribute to evidence-based civic engagement and healthier online spaces.
