Students in schools form a prime focus group for cyber wellness education. The unique environment is ripe both for effective impartation by teachers (and trainers) and positive peer-influence.

It is with this focus that TOUCH Cyber Wellness designs its school-based programmes to reach students in a way that effectively engages their thinking and imagination.

• Misadventures of Boon, an interactive “techno drama”, captures huge crowds of students from Upper Primary to Junior College students with its unique blend of high-energy facilitation and humour by our trainers.
• Project CRUSH and Planet CRUSH bring surprising and impactful structured experiences into classrooms to send home the message of cyber wellness to teenagers.
• CRUSH Kidz innoculates our impressionable children in primary schools against cyber space dangers at the youngest age.

This series of roadshow is customised for the maturity of upper primary to even junior college students. Youths watch their daily Internet-related dilemmas being played out and are challenged to make decisions on behalf of Ah Boon – with dramatized consequences.

The sight-and-sound impact of this show, coupled with persuasive explanations by our trainers, help the students to think beyond the situation-at-hand, assess possible consequences and to choose a rational response the cyber wellness way.
