    Description

    Sync, ITHRA, has been at the forefront of fostering a positive relationship between humans and technology, with a strong global presence. As we navigate an increasingly digital world, our well-being is deeply influenced by the way we interact with technology. While connected populations benefit from technological advancements, underserved communities face barriers to accessing these resources equitably. The importance of digital wellbeing—creating a safe, balanced, and inclusive digital environment for all—has never been more critical. This workshop is Call to Action Expanding Global Reach through Collaboration with CST, we are committed to extending our reach by expanding the index from 35 to 75 countries over the next 3 years in two phases. This collaborative effort will enable us to gather deeper insights into digital well-being, online harassment, and responsible innovation on a global scale. We call on partners, organizations, and governments worldwide to join us in this mission, ensuring that together, we create a safer and more inclusive digital landscape for all. The IGF event marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between CST and SYNC, paving the way for more impactful workshops focused on digital well-being in countries across the globe. We invite partners from around the world to work with us in connecting the unconnected while balancing innovation with responsibility. At this pivotal moment, moreover, we will announce that several countries have committed to taking action and joining us in this mission. Together, we can drive global change and ensure that digital spaces foster well-being and growth for everyone. Let this be the beginning of a collective movement toward digital inclusivity, with more nations set to join in the coming months.
