Online harms and scams don’t just happen because we lack awareness, they evolve, becoming masters at hiding in the digital landscape. To stay safe and savvy online, we must boost our critical thinking skills, empowering us to spot and tackle these threats beyond passive scrolling.

As consumers of content, we see creators as relatable figures who share their experiences, ideas, and viewpoints. It is crucial that creators feel confident and empowered to openly discuss online harms and scams.

About the programme

Creators IRL is a 3-month journey that fosters responsibility and advocacy among creators on online harms and scams. Through real discussions on online safety, creators can spark social and behavioural change, amplifying their impact and creativity to shape a safer digital world.

‍Creators will have the chance to collaborate with corporate partners and government agencies, all while building a network with fellow creators passionate about shaping the future of online safety.
