Project Coordinator - Global Teen Digital Wellbeing Initiative

Project Background

Across ASEAN, rapid growth in internet and smartphone use has increased adolescents time online for learning, socialising, and entertainment. While digitalisation brings benefits, it also exposes young people to cyberbullying, harmful content, online exploitation, and mental health risks, highlighting the need to strengthen digital resilience and support systems.

Plan International, as the regional grantee of the Google-funded Global Teen Digital Wellbeing Initiative in Asia-Pacific, is implementing the program across all 11 ASEAN Member States, aiming to reach 11 million people by 2027 through curriculum delivery, community engagement, and multi-channel campaigns.
