DAFA: Importance of Being Smart online



Just last month, The Straits Times reported on a “record number of scams in 2020” where Singaporeans have lost more than $201 million, which means there’s been over 15,700 cases.

It’s why “Be Smart” is one of Digital Arts For All (DAFA)’s three foundational values. The core is for students we teach to comprehend media literacy and the meaning of being safe, smart and kind online.


And when we celebrated Safer Internet Day (Feb 9), it was a reminder to us on the serious dangers that come with our overuse of technology, which include hacked social media accounts, dangerous trending challenges, fake news and cyberbullying.

But that shouldn’t deter us from using it once we receive the right education.


That is precisely why our DFG Youth Competition design brief this year is the Better Internet Campaign, which is all about creating a safer and better internet for everyone. We are open for submissions and close on June 15.
