It’s summer, the time for active rest and new discoveries! Young people from all over the country have gathered at the “Youth for Integrity 2024” summer camp, organized by the National Anticorruption Center (CNA) with the support of GIZ Moldova, to learn, grow, and become ambassadors of integrity.
This remarkable project features Dr. Dinu ȚURCANU, Associate Professor and Vice-Rector for Digitalization at the Technical University of Moldova, and the strategic coordinator of the “Cybercor” National Institute of Cybersecurity Innovations, as a trainer in Cybersecurity. Recognizing that cybersecurity is essential for protecting personal and professional information in the digital age, Dr. ȚURCANU provides the youth with crucial knowledge in cybersecurity: protection against cyberattacks, identifying phishing, risk management, and safeguarding personal data, thus helping to shape a new generation of digital leaders.
The “Youth for Integrity 2024” summer camp brings together 30 CNA anti-corruption youth volunteers from across the country. Here, they have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops, training sessions, and group activities designed to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent corruption and promote integrity. Participants learn from national and international experts, discuss current challenges, and develop innovative solutions to foster integrity in their communities.
In this context, Dr. ȚURCANU plays a pivotal role by addressing key topics essential for building a healthy cyber society. These topics include:
- Basic principles of cybersecurity;
- Protection against cyberattacks;
- Identifying and avoiding phishing;
- Safe use of public and private networks;
- Cyber risk management;
- Protection of personal data;
- Digital skills for the future.
According to Dr. ȚURCANU, it is vital to educate and train young people in cybersecurity to build a solid culture of integrity and responsibility. “TOGETHER we can build a healthy cyber society,” declared the Vice-Rector.
The “Youth for Integrity 2024” summer camp is a valuable opportunity for young volunteers to learn and contribute to building a society based on integrity and responsibility. In this important mission, the “Cybercor” National Institute of Cybersecurity Innovations, with financial support from the Republic of Moldova Development Foundation, the coordinator of the Google grant awarded to the National Institute of Cybersecurity Innovations “Cybercor” and the Technical University of Moldova, have a significant role. Through the expertise and resources provided, participants are equipped with the knowledge needed to become leaders in cybersecurity and digital integrity, thereby contributing to a safer and more transparent society.
The “Youth for Integrity 2024” summer camp takes place from July 14 to 20, 2024, and is organized by the National Anticorruption Center (CNA) with the support of GIZ Moldova through the project “Strengthening Anti-Corruption Mechanisms in the Republic of Moldova,” funded by the European Union, aiming to promote the values of integrity and responsibility among young people.
