ISLAMABAD: Telenor Pakistan and Facebook have launched the second installment of its knowledge-based initiative Internet Champion – iChamp, which includes a nationwide competition for school children and a reality show on national TV this year.
iChamp aims to promote internet literacy and safe use of internet among Pakistani youth through fun-filled educational sessions in schools and a reality TV show
iChamp 2017’s goal is to focus on secondary schools on a mass scale across Pakistan to educate youth on the benefits and safe use of internet. The programme will be supported by Facebook’s Free Basics project that provides free access to dozens of fun and learning websites. Covering 76 districts across all four provinces, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir, an estimated 600,000 students will be trained by experts through Free Basics with free handbooks and other resources.
The selected 12 students will proceed to compete in the iChamp reality show on national TV. This will be the first and the biggest show of its kind where students from across Pakistan will converge to support Telenor’s cause of digital inclusion and facilitating learning through mobile internet.
