Schools are not only places to provide useful and positive information and knowledge to young union members, but also serve as a source of advice and support for young union members to solve problems arising from negative impacts caused by digital transformation, such as social network addiction, cyber violence, verbal violence, being lured into participating in illegal activities through social networks, etc.

“Schools play a very important role in improving digital capacity for young people, but perhaps this is not comprehensive. There needs to be participation and cooperation from the State, the community, the family, and most importantly, each individual union member and young person. Digital capacity is essential for the development of each person, so improving the digital capacity of each individual is a clear manifestation of responsibility for oneself,” Vu Thi Ngoc suggested.

The opinions shared in the Dialogue help agencies and organizations in Vietnam and other countries in the world have more valuable information in the process of building and implementing policies and actions to improve digital capacity for young people, contributing to the implementation of sustainable development goals through digital transformation and innovation; together acting for the prosperous development of each country and the whole world.
