BigBWN G0 DIGITAL WORKSHOP FOR DISCOVERY YEAR (DY) INCUBATION

April 01, 2021

On Thursday, 1st April 2021, students from the Discovery Year Incubation program of the Entrepreneurship Village (EV) had the opportunity to attend a workshop organised by BigBWN, called GO DIGITAL ASEAN, which took place at the Main Lecture Theatre, Level 2, Institute of Health Science (IHS) Extension Building, at UBD

The GO Digital ASEAN workshop is a Digital Literacy Project, an initiative to focus on closing the digital gap across ASEAN and in support of ASEAN’s Coordinating Committee on MSMEs vision. Implemented by The Asia Foundation, with support from Google’s philanthropic arm, Google.org, the initiative aims to train up to 200,000 people from rural regions and under-served communities including entrepreneurs, underemployed youth, and women.

In the course of the workshop, the participants were exposed to a plethora of topics, including ‘Cyber Security 101’ that was presented by BruCert, ‘E-Commerce/E-Kadai’ presented by the Authority of Info-Communications Technology Industry for Brunei Darussalam (AITI), ‘Digital Marketing & Employability’ by BigBWN, ‘Technology for Inclusive Education’ by Nisai Brunei, and Art & Science of Digital Workforce by ComQuest Brunei. It is hoped that the participants were able to gain new skills to support the launching of the Digital Economy Master Plan 2035, which aims to turn Brunei into a smart nation by the year 2035.
