Surf Smart 2.0 Generation Digital is a non-formal education curriculum to support young people to connect safely and positively online. It is a unique resource which will ensure a generation of girls and young women have the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and others online. 

Participants will explore how they can use the internet as a member of Generation Digital; not only to communicate, learn and have fun but also to raise their voices as responsible citizens of the world. 

Advocacy for Generation Digital (A4GD) is the advocacy component of Surt Smart, which equips young leaders to advocate for safer, more inclusive, and rights-based digital spaces in their communities and beyond. 

The curriculum guides groups through a structured advocacy journey, helping them identify digital challenges that matter to them, explore root causes, understand who holds power, and plan and deliver meaningful advocacy projects.
