Kazakhstan's "Cyber Tumar": Protecting Children in the Digital World

Kazakhstan Launches "Cyber Tumar" Campaign to Protect Children Online Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan – In a proactive move to safeguard children in the digital age, the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan has launched a nationwide campaign called "Cyber Tumar." This initiative, timed to coincide with International Children's Day, aims to educate young people about online safety and promote responsible digital citizenship. The campaign utilizes various methods to reach children, including engaging videos like the one recently released. This video highlights the potential dangers children face online, such as cyberbullying and exposure to harmful content. One child featured in the video states, "It's important to be careful online, because strangers can be just as dangerous online as they are in real life." The campaign also emphasizes the importance of digital literacy and introduces schoolchildren to future IT professions. "Cyber Tumar" is part of the broader "Children of Kazakhstan" initiative, demonstrating the government's commitment to fostering a safe and enriching digital environment for its young citizens. The campaign's success will be measured by its ability to raise awareness and encourage safer online habits among children across the country.
