Students of Grade 8 at Apeejay School, Model Town, participated in a declamation activity. The activity focuses on cyber safety and responsible digital behaviour. Organised under the British Council project titled ‘Cyber Safety and Digital Literacy: India in the Global Digital Landscape’. The project provided students with a platform to discuss the challenges of navigating an increasingly connected world.

Through their speeches, participants addressed key aspects of online safety, including the importance of protecting personal information, understanding digital footprints, preventing cyberbullying and using social media responsibly. The presentations encouraged students to reflect on how their online actions can have lasting consequences and why awareness is essential while interacting in digital spaces.

The declamation activity also highlighted the importance of developing informed digital habits at an early age. As children increasingly use online platforms for communication, learning and entertainment, understanding the risks associated with digital interactions has become an important part of their overall education.

Students presented their perspectives with confidence and clarity, demonstrating an understanding of the need to exercise caution and responsibility online. Their speeches brought attention to issues such as maintaining privacy, treating others respectfully on digital platforms and recognising the potential impact of online behaviour.

The activity formed part of the school’s engagement with the British Council project, which focuses on cyber safety and digital literacy in the broader context of India’s place in the global digital landscape. By encouraging students to research, reflect and articulate their views, the initiative combined communication skills with awareness of contemporary digital concerns.

The school congratulated all participants for their thoughtful presentations and efforts. The activity reinforced the message that digital literacy involves more than knowing how to use technology; it also requires understanding online responsibilities and making informed choices.

Through such initiatives, students are encouraged to become responsible digital citizens who can participate confidently and safely in the online world.
