With the aim of providing blockchain education to 300,000 people in 2025.
Bitget and UNICEF Luxembourg have recently signed a three-year partnership deal for the advancement of digital skills and literacy on the blockchain technology among the young population.
“This partnership reflects our shared belief that digital skills are a powerful driver of opportunity and inclusion,” said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg.
She continued, “By collaborating with Bitget, we want to provide adolescents and young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own futures. Innovation should be a force for inclusion, opening doors, broadening horizons, and ensuring that technology works for everyone, everywhere.”
Through this, the Web3 company formally joins the Game Changers Coalition (GCC) led by UNICEF Office of Innovation (OOI).
According to the company, their support into the said program will help reach 300,000 people across eight countries, which are Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa.
Bitget Academy, the educational arm of Bitget, will help develop UNICEF’s first interactive, online and in-person blockchain training module based on video games creation skills development for teachers and young people.
Eventually, the coalition is eyed to expand its reach to a ninth country with the new support.
In a move to extend the ecosystem’s reach, Bitget also plans to introduce UNICEF to leading blockchain protocols and developers from across the Web3 landscape to participate in the educational initiative.
For Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, “Emerging technologies should not be reserved for the privileged few—they must be introduced early and equitably.“
“Blockchain, with its real-world use case and potential for social good, is one of the most powerful tools we can give to our younger generation to build products that change the way we look at modern society,” she underscored.
As part of the Game Changers Coalition, Bitget also becomes part of the Global Video Game Coalition, Micron Foundation, and Women in Games, which have a shared ambition of reaching 1.1 million girls by 2027 with learning and skills-building opportunities.
Bitget aims to enhance digital literacy and financial independence among women taught to them at a young age with the help of Bitget Academy, and support from the $10M initiative called Blockchain4Her.
“With Blockchain4Her, what began as a mission to empower hundreds of women has scaled into a global movement to educate thousands of girls. This is the kind of scale and impact blockchain was built for,” added Chen.
