The project to enhance digital skills for high school and university students, jointly implemented by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Meta Company, has been initially successful.

The meeting focused on evaluating the results of the Digital Capacity Building Project for Students, jointly implemented by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, and Meta Company (formerly Facebook).

At the meeting, Dr. Do Van Hung, representing the Project Coordination Board, briefly presented the implementation process over the two years of 2021-2022, highlighting very positive results, including:

• The digital competency framework developed for students in this project is the first of its kind in Vietnam. This framework has been referenced by domestic training institutions to develop digital competency programs for students.
• Establishing a Digital Humanities Club: creating a platform for young USSH students to develop their digital skills and solve their problems in the digital world.
• Organize a national competition "Messages for the Digital Generation": create videos and spread messages about actions that contribute to a better and safer life in the digital environment.
• Integrating the content of the Digital Age Thinking program into the Information Literacy course currently taught at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has trained over 2000 students.
• Develop and widely distribute a digital skills handbook for students.
• Develop a Digital Competencies module within the Bachelor of Information Management program.

Mr. Ruici highly appreciated the efforts and results achieved by the project, and expressed his gratitude to the leadership of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for dedicating maximum resources to its implementation. He emphasized that the final activity of the project is to organize a national workshop to report on the project's results and prepare for bilateral cooperation in Phase 2. This includes expanding the application of the digital competency framework to member universities within the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, implementing a digital competency course in the form of a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), and developing a digital competency assessment toolkit.

Professor Hoang Anh Tuan, on behalf of the University, expressed gratitude for Meta's cooperation and support over the years, and affirmed that the University always prioritizes developing essential skills for students to adapt well to the digital transformation context, especially digital competence. The University is committed to allocating resources to successfully implement the project and hopes to continue collaborating with Meta in the future.
