Clic Intelligent

A Digital Project to Tackle a Digital Problem

Awareness-raising and educational project tackled online hate speech, harassment, bullying and abuse committed by young people.

REJAD – which in English stands for the Youth Network for a Participatory Urban Development – saw the issue of cyber-criminality in the realm of hate speech and digital harassment as a particularly problematic issue among their peers in Dakar.

They wanted to raise awareness about the issue and educate other young people in a way that would resonate with them, leveraging networks and the power of social media to reach them.

The project Clic Intelligent (or ‘Intelligent Click’ in English) was done to render young people aware of the frequent cyber infractions present in the Senegalese web space, as well as showing the dangers of hateful and abusive cyber-behaviours.
