Digital Citizenship Education is the empowerment of children through education or the acquisition of competences for learning and active participation in digital society.

This is the knowledge, skills and understanding required for users to exercise and defend their democratic rights and responsibilities online, and to promote and protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law in cyberspace. Digital citizenship represents a new dimension of citizenship education that focuses on teaching students to work, live and share in digital environments in a positive way.
