The ENGAGE project is an innovative initiative implemented by News Network with the support of IMS (International Media Support), an international media development organisation headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The project is designed to strengthen the capacities of Youth and Gen Z content creators and influencers who are actively involved in the digital sphere to shape the information ecosystem. The project aims to equip them with knowledge and skills on digital and physical safety, psychosocial and legal safety, and journalistic and ethical consideration during developing contents for social media.

The project will develop several resources, conduct national-level training workshops and support them with necessary tips to be connected for a meaningful sharing of knowledge, tips and concerns in future. In addition, the project will strengthen participants’ ability to identify and counter misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information, enabling them to communicate more accurately, responsibly, and effectively. Ultimately, the project seeks to foster a safer, more ethical, and inclusive digital environment in Bangladesh, with sustainable impact that extends beyond the project period.
