CYBERKID VIETNAM Impact report






CyberKid Vietnam enters its third year of operation, and I have the third-time honor to write a foreword for the CyberKid Impact Report 2022. First of all, on this special occasion, I would like to wish everyone and their families a safe, happy and prosperous new year!
“Young age do small work, in accordance with your strength”President Ho Chi Minh
Founded in September 2020, in the first year of operation, we have directly addressed incidents of Children being attacked in cyberspace, launched educational programs to equip students with Internet safety skills, all the while taught and vocationally guided gifted students in cybersecurity for 3,527 Children in Hanoi city. So far, the aforementioned number has increased 14 times, with 49,351 Children in 24 provinces and cities around the country primarily benefiting from CyberKid Vietnam's solutions. What I am most proud of is that all of CyberKid's skills-based programs are delivered directly to each classroom, rather than via traditional workshops or school-wide activities that are usually applied to extracurricular
extracurricular programs. This smallclass-size strategy allows us to ensure that students are more engaged with the lessons, hence, increasing their learning efficiency. Furthermore, in July 2022, CyberKid officially launched the second branch office in Ho Chi Minh City to facilitate the delivery of programs to Children in the South.
All of these accomplishments are the result of 211 employees working at CyberKid Vietnam, with an average age of 20. These are undergraduates who, despite their young age, have quickly acquired a sense of social responsibility, devoting their discretionary talent and energy to the goal of developing a generation of responsible and talented digital citizens for a sustainable and powerful Vietnam in the digital transformation era. These young individuals are not only passionate about social activities, but also achieve excellent academic results. Many of them have achieved high ranks in student startup and business competitions, earned good to excellent grades in universities, or received academic scholarships from prominent corporations in the region while still actively engaging in CyberKid activities. I am incredibly delighted to have a chance to join them, thereby establishing a healthy playground for Vietnamese youth to practice and improve their skills while nourishing and engaging compassion, love, and national responsibility, as our beloved Uncle Ho has taught us.
In essence, CyberKid has established two primary targets for the year 2023:
Firstly, we will begin planning, developing, and implementing digital competence enhancement programs for Vietnamese students, as well as maintaining cyber safety
safety skill training programs for these target populations. In addition to Internet safety skills, a digital citizen must also acquire digital thinking and skills in order to actively engage in studying and working in the future digital economy and society system.
Secondly, we will concentrate on ensuring the sustainable operation of the CyberKid office in Ho Chi Minh City, allowing this branch to quickly catch up with the progress of the Hanoi branch. From there, we plan to focus our resources on opening a third office in Da Nang city by the end of 2023, fulfilling the short-term goal of expanding CyberKid's impact across the country before moving on to the aim of opening the first office outside the territory of Vietnam in Southeast Asia by 2025.
In the upcoming 2023, CyberKid members will continue to inherit and promote the longestablished, good traditions of Vietnamese youth. We are committed to contributing to the implementation of the National Digital Transformation Programme and the goal of transforming Vietnam into a developed, high-income country by 2045 through realizing our vision: to train and develop a generation of digital citizens capable of taking ownership of the country in the future.
CyberKid hopes to continue receiving support from community, firms, press association, especially administration agencies and departments, so that we have more motivation to continue achieving the goals established.
Best
Regards, Nguyen Nhu Quynh Founder of CyberKidTo inspire a responsible, talented, and healthy generation of digital citizens to take ownership of their own future and devote themselves to society.

CyberSchool is a solution for Schools, providing free 45 to 90-minute “Internet Safety" classes for primary schools, middle schools, and high schools to enhance Children’s knowledge and ability to utilize the Internet effectively.
In 2022, we continued executing the strategy of implementing the "Nationwide Internet Safety classes" project. Having achieved success in the Northern provinces and Hanoi, CyberSchool was officially launched in Ho Chi Minh City in April 2022. Besides bringing “Internet Safety” classes to primary, secondary, and high schools, CyberSchool in Ho Chi Minh city also spread valuable knowledge about how to utilize Internet safely to unfortunate children in orphanages such as SOS Children's Villages, Mai Am Anh Sang, and Mai Am Tre Xanh.

CyberSchool's journey not only makes beneficial consequence on Children but also inspires and creates a dynamic environment for University students to develop soft skills. By approaching top domestic universities to recruit talented students such as University of Languages and International Studies – Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, CyberSchool has been developing a nationwide network of high-quality volunteers.
This year, we also focused on improving the quality of our classes by organizing training programs of pedagogical skills and carefully evaluating the teaching ability of the volunteers. In addition, we continuously developed new interactive activities between students and volunteers and updated lesson plans that include new, in-depth, and practical content.
In 2023, CyberSchool has 03 main goals:
Equipping Children and Young Adults with digital competencies besides digital safety knowledge so that they will be confident when seizing future learning and working opportunities of the digital economy - society;
Delivering the “Internet Safety” classes to high schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to ensure that students at all ages are equipped with useful knowledge and skills on how to utilize the Internet safely;
Launching the Global Digital Citizen Summer Camp 2023 which aims at opening up a meaningful space for students to develop themselves. With the form of a day-boarding summer camp, the Global Digital Citizen Summer Camp 2023 will provide basic knowledge and skills for Children about how to create content on digital platforms. Furthermore, it also brings opportunities for students to meet, exchange and listen to speakers who are influential in many fields such as communication, technology, education, and social activism.
“The Administration is very grateful to CyberKid for bringing the “Internet Safety” classes to the students of Ngo Si Lien Secondary School. Both teachers and students have given positive feedback about the lesson. In particular, besides theoretical knowledge, the lesson was integrated with real-life stories and situations, which gave students chances to interact and grasp knowledge better. I hope that, in the future, CyberKid Vietnam and our school will have more cooperation opportunities when there are other suitable programs.”
Mrs. Huyen Hoang-Thanh, Vice Principal of Ngo Si Lien Secondary School - HanoiCyberSchool s volunteer journey has helped me improve my public speaking and problemsolving skills. Additionally, I felt energi zed when the pupils were joyful and excited about my lessons. I m truly grateful to CyberKid for providing me with the chance to have such experiences. As for me, that journey is really beautiful and unforgettable.” Mr. Hoan Nguyen-Trong, Volunteer of CyberSchool in Hanoi Q4/2022
After taking part in CyberSchool s class, I have learned a lot of useful lessons about protecting myself from attacks and temptations in cyberspace. In addition, this is also an opportunity for me to be equipped with skills to utilize Internet resources in learning and entertainment effectively. All students were given a space to e xpress their opinions on this topic thanks to an interesting class and friendly volunteers. These lessons from CyberSchool are meaningful to us - the generations of the digital era and the nation s pride.
Mr. Son Dao-Ngọc, Student in grade 9 at Ngo Si Lien Secondary School - Hanoi
In 2022, CyberClass continuously improved the quality and intensiveness of the curriculum. Not only did CyberClass provide knowledge base, we also added practical lessons so that students can apply their knowledge to their personal projects or cybersecurity competitions. Before being officially launched, each course is carefully evaluated by the curriculum editors and lecturers. These innovations in curriculum expertise helped CyberClass courses not only deliver a solid knowledge base to students but also bring excitement to students.
We always strive to be a close companion to our students. Students are heard, cared for and assisted by the CyberClass team promptly from the registration to the end of the course. During the third-quarter course, 90% of the participating students held firm to their learning motivation and felt satisfied with the learning and interactive experience at CyberClass.
In addition, in order to find and recruit early talents in the field of Cybersecurity more effectively, CyberClass promotes cooperation with gifted high schools across Vietnam, such as Hung Vuong High School for the Gifted, Bien Hoa High School for the Gifted, Nguyen Hue High School in Ha Noi, High School for Gifted Student - Hanoi National University of Education, etc. Through a network of gifted schools and high-quality schools across 24 provinces, the input quality of students has been improved, thereby helping CyberClass focus on in-depth training content and carry out the right task to discover potential young talents in this field.
(1) Students' competence is constantly assessed throughout the courses by experts;
(2) Students with great potential have their information sent to schools, related educational centers, and institutions for further talent nurturing in the field of Cybersecurity from an early age.
CyberClass is a solution for Children, providing 100% free online courses to discover and foster talents in Cybersecurity.
Especially in the coming July, CyberClass is going to hold a Capture The Flag (CTF - Capture the Flag) contest which is completely a new version compared to the version in previous years. We expect this event to be the first playground not only for Vietnamese students but also for students from other countries in Southeast Asia to practice in the cyber arena, to compete and affirm their abilities with international friends. The contest will also help countries in Southeast Asia to find, nurture, orient and activate talents and passions about Cybersecurity for talented students from a young age. At the same time, the contest is also a solution to develop and leverage the information security human resource, turning Vietnam step by step into a cybersecurity powerhouse.
In 2023, we will continue to : 1
Improving the quality and expertise of the curriculum; Connecting students with experts through competitions and career events on Cybersecurity; 2
Fostering promotion activities with high schools to reach more early talents in Cybersecurity. 3
“I think CyberClass is very meaningful after becoming a lecturer of Linux Operating System course. CyberClass has opened up opportunities for students to better access to cybersecurity knowledge and receive early career guidance so that they are more motivated. It will be much better if this model is widely spread and improved in the future”
“Up to now, I have attended 2 consecutive courses organized by CyberClass and all the courses were well-designed. The lecturers in the class are also very proficient, they always answered all my questions right after finishing the classes. CyberClass's staff are very lovely, they always help and support me whenever I face difficulties. I'm really grateful because they have supported and inspired me to continue this challenging passion."
"CyberClass is a friendly and dynamic learning environment where I can connect with lecturers who always support us with all their best. I enjoy every lecture of CyberClass because they are all interesting and insightful. Besides, thanks to CyberClass, I was able to make friends with several wonderful students. CyberClass' staff are also very kind. After taking the course, my admiration for them was continuously increasing. I also wanted to continue spreading the knowledge and helping them to develop the right path for early talents who were having trouble like myself before, so I applied to become an official member of CyberClass. And my wish has come true!"
Listening with all our hearts
CyberHotline is a solution for Victims, providing free psychological counseling, support, and first aid services to Children and Young Adults who are Victims of cyber threats.
In 2022, CyberHotline focused on improving the quality of crisis response by enhancing the expertise of our consultants and building a crisis response process to provide practical, timely, and effective solutions in the context of millions of Children facing risks in cyberspace with higher complexity levels. When receiving cyberattack cases, CyberHotline assumes the role of "psychological first aid" in order to firstly maintain Victims’ mental stability. For serious cases, especially when signs of crime are recorded, we will guide or assist Victims to contact competent authorities.
Furthermore, CyberHotline promoted numerous marketing campaigns to increase our solution’s recognition among the community, therefore encouraging Victims to speak up and seek help when encountering maltreatment in cyberspace. In particular, a campaign titled "One story, One change" was launched in primary and secondary schools in Hanoi with the aim of approaching Children and listening to their stories in cyberspace via direct consultation.

With the view to providing suitable remedies for each Victim reported along with reducing crisis response time, we focused on connecting with leading experts and organizations in many fields, especially psychology, legality, and cybersecurity. In order to establish the Union of Protecting Children and Young Adults in cyberspace, since October 2022, CyberHotline has collaborated with psychological, legal, and technological organizations, such as: Touching Soul Center, Ann Therapy, etc.
We operate with two main goals:
100% of cases contacting Union Member’s hotlines are supported promptly and effectively;

With that in mind, CyberHome strives to:

After 2 years actively working on protecting and supporting Children in cyberspace, CyberKid has made impact on 49,351 Children in over 20 Vietnamese cities and provinces. During this time, we realized the following problems:
1
Only focusing on raising awareness and enhancing skills on Internet safety for Children is not enough. Along with being educated to recognize, avoid and cope with cyber threats, Children also need to be equipped with various digital skills to actively engage in the future learning and working opportunities of the digital economy and digital society.
Besides Children under 16 years old, Vietnamese Young Adults, who are the future workforce, need to be protected in cyberspace and equipped with digital competence.
Finally, CyberKid’s mission needs to be more aligned and relevant to the National Digital Citizen and Digital Workforce Development Programs and the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Entering into the 3rd year of operation, CyberKid decided to conduct 3 main changes to solve these problems, including:
Expanding our solutions’ beneficiaries from Children under 16 years old to Children and Young Adults under 23 years old;
Researching and developing new curricula on digital competence for Vietnamese Children and Young Adults, along with continuing to deliver Internet safety knowledge to these populations;
Ensuring that all future CyberKid activities are relevant to and aligned with the National Digital Citizen and Digital Workforce Development objectives and 17 UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). To be more specific, we focus on SDG 4 on Quality Education and SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth. We believe that when young people are e quipped with the necessary digital skills, they can take advantage of Internet and technology in general to learn and enhance their creativity anywhere at any time, therefore meeting the requirements of the digital economy and society, which ensures that no one is left behind.
In addition to marketing activities to the community about brand update and the keyword "Digital Competence", CyberKid pays attention to the internal transmission and training to the current members. In particular, Talent Management Department conducted a variety of internal communication activities to raise members’ awareness about brand update and organized a Training Camp to provide over 100 members in both branches with the first digital skills. The Training Camp offered some different sessions including: How to Become a Data-Master, Detox your digital life, How to become a productive superman, and How to actualize virtual communication. Therefore, our members can accumulate sufficient knowledge as well as skills to get ready for organizational change.
One of the main activities of CyberKid brand update strategy is conducting researches and developing educational content on digital competence for Children and Young Adults. For CyberKid, the educational content should be entirely created by the Vietnamese and for the Vietnamese. In 0 , CyberKid identified that the majority of Vietnamese youth had not been properly introduced to and acquired comprehensive educational content on digital competence, which had broadened the gap between the employment requirements of the digital economy and society, and execution ability of the labor force. Hence, Research and Development Department from CyberKid has been carrying out number of activities with the goal of improving young people's digital capabilities so that they can adapt to the changing demands of the country,Conductingincludingin-depth study on the existing state of digital competence among Vietnamese Children and Young Adults using digital competence framework created and implemented in other countries Building digital competence content suitable for Vietnamese students. To be more specific, educational materials will be prepared to be fulfilled with appropriate knowledge and skills related to digital competence and produced on the basis of educational stages and geography of the teaching region.
CyberKid has conducted a series of communication activities to announce the update of our organization, as well as raise public awareness about the importance of equipping Vietnamese Children and Young Adults with digital competence. Specifically, the series of activities consists of 3 main events: 1) #GrowwithCyberKid content series; )

With the goal of informing partners about the organization's transition and publicly introducing the concept and value of digital competence to Young Adults, on December 14th, 2022, CyberKid welcomed over 20 news agencies and more than 500 attendees to the CyberKid Brand Update Announcement. The event was divided into two main parts:
Part 1: Brand update ceremony

At the same time, CyberKid also changed our brand identity by launching a new logo to reflect our new development orientation.
Representing CyberKid, Ms. Luu Thuy Anh - Master of Positive Psychology, CyberKid Vietnam's cofounder shared in the press conference as follows: "CyberKid will focus on fulfilling the mission of inspiring a responsible, talented, and healthy generation of digital citizens to take ownership of their future and devote themselves to the society. Simultaneously, CyberKid strives to raise awareness and provide essential cyber safety skills, as well as prepare Children with digital competencies and ensure digital readiness for Children and Young Adults.
The new logo has a youthful, dynamic, and groundbreaking nuance with three primary changes: the winking expression indicates the human aspect in tandem with technological advancement, the "intermittent" design represents CyberKid's attitude of eagerness to learn new things and improve. Furthermore, the letter C on the left and the wink symbol indicating the letter K in "CyberKid'' are craftily combined. The new logo aims to convey the lively and youthful energy of CyberKid's target audience and members, children and young adults.
The talk show "The role of digital competence in self-development of Young Adults" follows the first segment of the Brand update ceremony. The talk show took place with the attendance of Ms. Linh Thuy Nguyen-Phan, Founder of Nguoc social organization, Mr. Hoang Nguyen-Trong, Employer Branding Director Solutions at The Trainee Club, and Ms. Ha Chu, Founder of Cooked - a provider of advanced Marketing and Business Development courses, and over 500 online attendants.
The brand update ceremony marked the CyberKid evolution from an organization focused on Internet safety for Children in cyberspace to one that equips Children and Young Adults with digital competence. We hope to continue receiving Young Adults' support and to be a trustworthy companion of Vietnamese Youth on their journey to become talented digital citizens in the future.

Not only did we try to improve the quality of our contents, but we also strove to spread CyberKid's message to the community through social media, national TV channels, newspapers, and influencers. Through our communication activities in 2022, we received impressive figures and reactions from our target audience, which greatly motivated us to constantly upgrade our content’s quality in the upcoming year.

Our CyberKid team launched a "Safety in Cyberspace" class at Phan Thanh Secondary School in Luc Yen, Yen Bai, with the goal of teaching students skills to use digital devices safely and healthily.
The establishment of the CyberKid office in Ho Chi Minh City is one of the most three important strategies in our three-year plan 2020 - 2023. In July of 2022, the CyberKid branch in Ho Chi Minh City was officially launched with the first 3 members of Board of Executives who are highly eager to contribute their talents to the benefits of society.

Following the success of 2021, CyberKid has continued to focus on talent development activities in 2022, with the goal of becoming a high-quality human resource incubator for the Vietnamese government, businesses, and respected nongovernmental and non-profit organizations. Embracing the “Knowledge” value in the 5 values of CyberKid, we hope for our members to accumulate crucial knowledge, professional skills, as well as diverse experiences to pursue their careers in the future.
Specifically, learning from big corporations, we quarterly organize internal training sessions with different scales and topics, from organizational training with basic knowledge to department training with specialized skills. Furthermore, one-toone counseling and personal training sessions are also available occasionally according to members’ requests. All members can schedule a consultation with the Managers or Head of their department for timely support.
As 2022 comes to an end, CyberKid has one more year to be proud of our generations of members, as well as to appreciate their significant contributions to the organization’s development. They are the alumni who have become talented employees and interns in prestige enterprises. They are also our current members who are dedicating themselves day and night to the community, all the while receiving outstanding prizes and scholarships as university students.
