SafeSpace is a cyber-safety awareness website and the hub for several initiatives under the cyber-safety section in MOTC. It is built on three fundamental principles: prevention, protection, and empowerment. Its goal is to guide the community of Qatar and the Arab region towards safe use of Information and Communication Technologies. We were able to deliver cyber safety awareness workshops for more 400+ governmental and international schools within Qatar with over 30,000+ people taking direct workshops. SafeSpace can be used in other countries as the main values being developed are accepted in Arab and international communities as well. these values created our Code of Ethics that is the main reference for Safespace website content, we raise Values such as Respect, Honesty, and Responsibilities are values that shall be used while being online not just in real life. Now Our vision is to be the ultimate reference for anything related to cyber safety and to be the source for good netizens in Qatar and the Arab world. and this involved collaboration with several stakeholders like ministry of education and ministry of development and other governmental entities, also collaborating with private and big organization like Microsoft and Vodafone to achieve our mission.
