Aiming to provide blockchain and digital skills education to 300,000 young people across eight countries by 2025, Bitget signed a three-year partnership agreement with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Luxembourg, the international cryptocurrency exchange and web3 company announced.
Consequently, Bitget pledged that its initiatives and campaigns, specifically Blockchain4Her and Bitget Academy, will support and expand the partnership’s goal.
Bitget x UNICEF: A Three-Year Blockchain Education Journey
As part of the initiative, Bitget marked its entry into the Game Changers Coalition (GCC), a program led by the UNICEF Office of Innovation that seeks to bridge the digital skills gap, particularly among adolescent girls in low and middle-income countries.
UNICEF’s Office of Innovation and the GCC will lead the program’s framework, aiming to equip 1.1 million girls with technology and blockchain skills by 2027. Accordingly, Bitget joined fellow coalition members, including the Global Video Game Coalition, Women in Games, and the Micron Foundation, in supporting this shared goal.
The education campaign will engage youth, as well as parents, mentors, and teachers, across Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa. In addition, Bitget shared in a statement that there are plans to expand to an unnamed ninth country.
“This partnership reflects our shared belief that digital skills are a powerful driver of opportunity and inclusion… By collaborating with Bitget, we want to provide adolescents and young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own futures.”
Sandra Visscher, Executive Director, UNICEF Luxembourg
Bitget also shared that it plans to connect UNICEF with key players in the blockchain industry, including protocols and developers, who can participate in the initiative as mentors or contributors.
Blockchain4Her Supports: Blockchain Training to Young Girls
According to the media release, UNICEF chose Bitget for its strong focus on blockchain education and empowering girls and women.
It is because Bitget’s contribution to the partnership will be backed by its Blockchain4Her initiative, a $10 million program that supports women in web3 through funding, mentorship, and educational resources, according to the crypto exchange.
Technically, the Blockchain4Her program is exepceted supports UNICEF’s goals of boosting digital skills, confidence, and career readiness by utilizing the $10 million initiative to help expand UNICEF’s blockchain training through STEAM programs and support its mission to provide quality education and bridge the global digital divide, Bitget assured.
In a statement, the web3 company noted that its partnership with UNICEF is a key milestone in Blockchain4Her’s goal to promote financial independence and digital access among girls from a young age.
Bitget Academy Supports: UNICEF’s First Blockchain Learning Module
Bitget Academy will also collaborate with UNICEF to launch the agency’s first blockchain-focused learning module, available both online and in person. The curriculum will integrate video game creation as a tool for blockchain education and digital literacy.
