  • Tittle: New Immigrant Digital Empowerment Program
  • UpdateDate: 2024.10.25      

To enhance the new immigrants’ digital literacy, the National Immigration Agency has launched the "New Immigrant Digital Empowerment Program." On August 31, the Agency held a creative event titled "Digital Adventure Workshop: Don’t Fall for Online Scams!" at the Shilin District Farmers' Association Building. A professional cybersecurity instructor was invited to talk about cybersecurity issues in a simple, relatable way. The event combined interactive games with teaching and shared real-life cases of online scams in order to help new immigrants gain a deeper understanding of the importance of cybersecurity and increase their awareness of online safety.

 

The National Immigration Agency stated that the purpose of the "New Immigrant Digital Empowerment Program" is to help new immigrants and their children enhance their digital skills, while promoting family learning to enrich personal abilities and make life more convenient. This year, in response to growing concerns about cybersecurity and media literacy, the program is also offering a free computer course titled "Cybersecurity Risks in Everyday Life: Learning Prevention Measures from News about Online Crime." This course aims to help new immigrants fully understand online fraud and the importance of cybersecurity. The program also provides free tablet and laptop rental services and offers eight online cybersecurity courses on such topics as "Is Seeing Believing? Online Security Sharing." These resources help new immigrants integrate cybersecurity awareness into their daily lives, understand the dangers of online crime, and learn how to protect themselves from these threats.

 

Looking ahead, the National Immigration Agency will continue to launch more creative activities that encourage new immigrants to actively participate in digital learning and make greater use of technology in their daily lives. This event marks an important step for new immigrants in integrating into the digital society, offering them valuable learning resources and opportunities.
