SINGAPORE: The Inter-Ministry Cyber Wellness Steering Committee (ICSC) has launched its first call for proposals, in its effort to encourage and support cyber wellness events and programmes for the youth.

The ICSC will co-fund successful proposals through a S$10-million fund, set aside for the scheme over the next five years.

The committee recognises that a multi-pronged collaborative approach involving the community is necessary to effectively reach out to the youth.

Some of the possible project areas include promoting cyber safety, managing cyber-bullying and responsible use of mobile technologies.

Applicants are required to demonstrate how their initiative or activities will raise awareness and promote cyber wellness among the youth.

The committee was formed earlier this year to coordinate the government's efforts in cyber wellness through working with people-private sector organisations.

The ICSC is co-chaired by MICA and MOE, and includes representatives from several ministries and government agencies.
