The 2026 “Not Alone” campaign was initiated by the Digital Trust Alliance (DTA), under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the international organizations UNICEF and UNODC. The campaign is coordinated with the Department of Cyber Security, the National Cybersecurity Association (NCA), and other relevant agencies, organizations, businesses, and community partners.
Focusing on preventing online abuse against children and adolescents, the campaign aims to help young people identify, prevent, and respond to online risks, including scams, cyberbullying, harassment, grooming, psychological manipulation, personal data breaches, and the distribution of harmful content.

At the event, officials and students were introduced to the campaign’s key objectives and learned how to use the internet and social media safely, recognize situations that may expose them to online abuse, and proactively seek support from their families, schools, and relevant authorities when necessary.
A Series of Activities to Promote Digital Safety
In Lam Dong, the campaign runs from October 10 to December 10, 2026, with a series of activities, including an online quiz, the search for “School Digital Safety Ambassadors,” workshops at schools, and the “Five Minutes with Your Child” initiative.

The “School Digital Safety Ambassadors” competition is open to students at lower and upper secondary schools, colleges, and universities across the province. It comprises five rounds, covering personal introductions, the creation of communication products, outreach activities, the proposal of initiatives, and the organization of practical workshops.
Through the competition, Lam Dong will select and mentor students with the knowledge, skills, and ability to inspire others to become advocates for digital safety in schools. These ambassadors will help promote civilized and responsible behavior on social media while supporting their peers in recognizing and avoiding online risks.
Families and Schools Join Hands to Protect Children

Alongside activities for students, the “Five Minutes with Your Child” initiative encourages parents and caregivers to spend time talking with and listening to their children every day. This can help them identify warning signs early and ensure that children do not have to face online incidents alone.
Through the campaign, Lam Dong aims to build a coordinated network involving families, schools, government agencies, and the wider community to protect children and adolescents. It also seeks to spread the message that every comment, message, and piece of content shared online should be guided by respect and responsibility.
“Connect Without Harm” is also a call for the community to reject cyberbullying and insults, refrain from sharing private information, and think twice before taking actions that could hurt others. Together, these efforts aim to create a safer, healthier, and more humane digital environment.
