Youth Summit on Cyber Security Held in Colombo

The fourth Youth Summit on Cyber Security 2024 in Colombo aimed to empower Sri Lankan youth with essential cybersecurity knowledge, emphasizing the importance of digital safety education. Organized by the Daily FT and CICRA Holdings, the summit featured discussions on safe internet practices and cyberbullying, attended by students and educators, with support from major tech companies. Concurrently, U.S. college campuses witnessed a surge in first-time voters participating in the presidential election, with events like Columbia Votes' 'Party to the Polls' providing support and camaraderie for students navigating the voting process. Teachers also brought younger students to observe the democratic process firsthand, enhancing their understanding of voting and civic engagement. In Nashville and other locales, students made the voting experience social, rallying together to cast their ballots, while some participated in themed events to celebrate Election Day. Despite challenges such as inclement weather, enthusiasm among students remained high as they engaged in their civic duties.
