BALI &nbsp;– The ASEAN Digital Literacy Programme (DLP),
a collaboration between the ASEAN Foundation and Google.org, Google’s
philanthropic arm, unveiled its e-learning platform DigitalClassASEAN.org, at
its Impact Forum today.

The platform,
part of the ASEAN DLP’s commitment to advancing digital literacy across the
region, focuses on inclusivity and accessibility, providing essential tools to
support individuals with disabilities on their learning journey.

The ASEAN DLP Impact
Forum, which was hosted in Bali from 14 to 16 November 2023 on Global Media and
Information Literacy Week was themed "Navigating Digital Resilience:
Empowering ASEAN Communities through Digital Literacy”.

<a></a>It spotlighted the achievements as well as the impact of the two-year
programme in ten ASEAN member states, which included Singapore, while bringing
together local partners and stakeholders with representatives of the ASEAN
Secretariat and the ASEAN Foundation as well as Google.org to discuss various key
digital literacy topics.

The aim of the
forum was to raise awareness about digital literacy, foster collaboration among
stakeholders, and equip participants with the necessary tools and strategies to
promote digital inclusion and address digital challenges in the ASEAN region.

Over the course
of two years, the ASEAN DLP, in partnership with 15 local implementing
organisations, conducted 61 Training of Trainers sessions, involving 1,451
Master Trainers across the region. Through this, the programme has reached
193,955 individuals through 2,647 digital literacy workshops, exceeding its
initial goal of reaching 100,000 people within two years.

Additionally, the
ASEAN Youth Advisory Group (YAG), which operates under the ASEAN DLP and
comprises selected youth from ten ASEAN countries, has conducted 12 impactful
online and on-site digital literacy campaigns across the region. This has
directly benefited 3,881 individuals and achieved a combined social media reach
of over 930,000 people. 

Executive
Director of the ASEAN Foundation, Dr Piti Srisangnam said, “We are delighted
with the inroads we have made in Singapore through DoubleCheck, our
campaign with ASEAN Youth Advisory Group (YAG), to educate pre-teens and
teens. Over the past two years, the work through our
implementation partner, Bamboo Builders, has
also empowered a new generation of Master Trainers to train new communities and
future agents of change." 

“The achievement
of ASEAN DLP is a collective accomplishment involving the active participation
and dedication of all stakeholders. Having a shared purpose of creating a safer
digital space has brought us one step closer to the vision of developing a
digitally inclusive Southeast Asia,” he adds.

In Singapore, the
programme has trained 50 Master Trainers and 3,098 participants, working
alongside Bamboo Builders as a local implementing partner to record significant
awareness and active participation among Singaporean youth in the fight against
misinformation and disinformation. 

Founder of Bamboo
Builders Gabriel Tan said, "We are proud to be part of ASEAN DLP in
building safer digital spaces. In just a few months, we have trained more than
2,500 beneficiaries, including in-mates from Singapore prison, persons with
disabilities, domestic and migrant workers, with digital literacy skills. They
will be the agents of change, amplifying digital literacy awareness in their
community."

Along with
capacity building, the DoubleCheck campaign aimed to enhance digital literacy
among tweens and teens on misinformation and disinformation using a fun
edutainment approach. It was spearheaded by Singaporean ASEAN YAG members,
Joanne Tan and Esther David.

Lead for
Google.org APAC, Marija Ralic said, “The ASEAN Foundation's Digital Literacy
Programme has achieved remarkable results and also touched lives, sparking
positive change across Southeast Asia. The commitment, dedication, and passion
demonstrated by all participants, trainers, and organisations is truly
inspiring and we are proud to support this initiative through Google.org. As we
continue on our journey toward a safer internet, let us draw inspiration from
these stories of transformation and empowerment,”. 

Google.org is
supporting the ASEAN Foundation with a US$1.5 million grant to aid the
implementation of the ASEAN DLP from 2022 to 2024.

Meanwhile the
platform DigitalClassASEAN.org, which was unveiled at the forum, has five core
modules covering key aspects of digital literacy -digital citizenship, media,
and information literacy, addressing misinformation and disinformation,
promoting positive online behaviour, as well as tackling special topics like
social media etiquette, digital parenting, and online scam prevention. 

These modules
were developed through collaboration between the ASEAN Foundation and the Break
the Fake Movement, a fact-checking organisation based in the Philippines. They
are available in eight ASEAN local languages: Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa
Indonesia, Khmer, Tagalog, Thai, Lao, Burmese, and Vietnamese. Upon completing
all modules, learners will receive a downloadable certificate of achievement.

ASEAN DLP's
mission in combating misinformation and disinformation through digital literacy
is in alignment with UNESCO's theme for this year's Global Media and
Information Literacy Week, "Media and Information Literacy in Digital
Spaces: A Collective Global Agenda."

ASEAN FOUNDATION IN COLLABORATION WITH GOOGLE.ORG LAUNCHES DIGITAL LITERACY E-LEARNING PLATFORM AT REGIONAL FORUM

SINGAPORE -The ASEAN Foundation together with TikTok and SAP are proud to announce the successful completion of the Regional Workshop for ASEAN Social Enterprise Development Programme (ASEAN SEDP) 2.0 under the topic of "Empowering Social Enterprise to Drive Meaningful Change in ASEAN." The event took place in Singapore from 17 to 20 October 2023, in conjunction with the 16th ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Micro, Small Medium Enterprises (ACCMSME). During the workshop, 3 exceptional social enterprises were awarded grants totalling 30,000 USD to bring their innovative social business ideas to life and advance sustainable development goals in the ASEAN region.

The Regional Workshop featured a dynamic program that included a Demo Day and Business Matchmaking sessions, connecting visionary social entrepreneurs with potential investors, including venture capitalists and angel investors. Additionally, the workshop played host to insightful roundtable discussions and a networking dinner with ACCMSME delegates, providing participants with a platform to establish meaningful relationships, articulate their aspirations, and showcase their promising initiatives to ASEAN policymakers. The grant winners were Survival Skills Vietnam from Vietnam in the first place, Tulibot from Indonesia in the second place and Beebag from Malaysia in the third place.

"We are excited to announce the seed grant winners today, and we look forward to witnessing their growth and contribution to sustainability across the region. The Regional Workshop offers an invaluable opportunity for these social entrepreneurs to gain exposure to potential investors, actively participate in regional conversations, and network with influential policymakers across ASEAN. We are confident that all the participating social enterprises will harness the knowledge they have acquired during the programme and continue to thrive," said Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation. 

The ASEAN Foundation, in collaboration with TikTok and SAP, has successfully implemented the ASEAN SEDP 2.0 to empower social enterprises across the ASEAN region. The programme focuses on promoting productivity, technology, and innovation, increasing access to finance, enhancing market access and internationalisation, and fostering entrepreneurship and human capital development.

After a rigorous selection process involving 145 applicants, 20 outstanding social enterprises from ten ASEAN member countries were chosen to participate in the programme: Big BWN Project (Brunei Darussalam); ADSA Cambodia (Cambodia); Komerce, PetaNetra, PT. Disabilitas Kerja Indonesia, and Tulibot (Indonesia); Cofarm – Farm for Local (Lao PDR); Beebag, Native Discovery, PichaEats (Malaysia); CC Educare Myanmar, Taungthutada, TTTD – Farmers’ Bridge (Myanmar); Recyglo Singapore (Singapore); Lukthamdai, Moreloop, and PakDone (Thailand); Hinablon sa Cebu and Mayani (The Philippines); and Survival Skills Vietnam and Tohe Social Enterprise (Viet Nam). 

The selected social enterprises benefited from 15 customised virtual training and mentoring sessions tailored to their specific needs. One of these sessions, held in September 2023, focused on TikTok Trust and Safety, offering insights into TikTok's safety efforts, community guidelines, and user protection measures. Hasnita Taslim, Founder of PT Disabilitas Kerja, said “I am grateful to learn from TikTok’s Trust and Safety (T&amp;S) that TikTok has the strategies and measures in place to ensure users are safe on the platform. As a TikTok user, it gives me great confidence that we are well protected.” Another workshop that TikTok conducted was centred around content creation strategy, where social enterprises were equipped with skills and techniques to meaningfully connect, grow and mobilise their audience in an authentic way.   

“TikTok is proud to partner with the ASEAN Foundation to meaningfully empower social enterprises across Southeast Asia to advance inclusive economic growth and drive meaningful change in their communities. We believe that a collective partnership, involving governments, non-profits and private sector partners, can enable the next generation of entrepreneurs to grow and thrive,” said Jerry Lewis Ong, Social Impact APAC, TikTok.

As the strategic collaboration between the ASEAN Foundation and SAP continues with this programme, it aims to empower youth-led social enterprises and young talents in the ASEAN region by equipping them with essential skills to build a future-ready workforce and encouraging young social entrepreneurs to discover innovative solutions that deliver inclusive economic benefits across the region. SAP also conducted training for the selected social entrepreneurs with the themes "Powerful Collaborations: Enhancing Impact through Partnership" and “SAP 4HANA for Small and Medium businesses” in the past week.

Lu Hongwei, Regional CSR Director, East Asia, Pacific &amp; Greater China, SAP, said “We are committed to nurturing social entrepreneurs poised to drive meaningful regional and global change. With the knowledge acquired from our program and the ongoing support of mentorship and access to our corporate supplier networks, we firmly believe in the profound impact they will achieve."

One of the selected social enterprises is Recyglo Singapore, a Singapore-based sustainability platform that provides businesses and individuals with closed-loop waste management solutions with presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar. Following their motto of ‘Making the world a cleaner place’, their mission is to process material in a safe, non-hazardous manner that avoids environmental harm. 

The Regional Workshop was attended by ACCMSME-Nominated Officials, Mr. Tham Jierong, Assistant CEO and Head, Venture Building, raiSE, Singapore; Ms. Joanne Tan, Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Capability Programmes &amp; Planning Group, Enterprise Singapore; Mr. M. Reza Guntara, Expert Planner, Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, Indonesia.

It was of this concern that ASEAN leaders established the ASEAN Foundation during ASEAN’s 30th Anniversary Commemorative Summit in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia on 15 December 1997. ASEAN Foundation is an organisation from and for the people of ASEAN. The Foundation exists because of one vision: to build a cohesive and prosperous ASEAN Community. As an ASEAN body, the Foundation is tasked to support ASEAN mainly in promoting awareness, identity, interaction, and development of the people of ASEAN.
