DIGITAL MEDIA LITERACY TRAINING FOR YOUNGSTERS IN CIAMIS TO ACHIEVE ASEAN SMART CITIES

Abstract

Everyone needs to understand that digital literacy is an important thing that needed to be accepted in today's modern world. Digital literacy will create a society with critical-creative mindset and outlook. Building a digital literacy culture needs an active role of the community together. The success of building digital literacy is one of the indicators of victory in the fields of education and agriculture and will facilitate an area to develop potential towards a broader direction, in this context developing regions globally. Efforts to develop the potential of Indonesian regions globally can be done at the regional level, in this case Southeast Asia. The ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN) is a collaborative platform aimed at synergizing smart city development efforts in Southeast Asia by facilitating smart city development cooperation, catalyzing banking development projects with industrial sectors, and supporting various assistance and support from partners outside Southeast Asia. Ciamis is one of the districts that is well appointed to be one of the ASEAN Smart Cities networks. Thus, the local government still needs help from various parties related to efforts to increase digital media literacy, especially to youth in Ciamis Regency.
