Influencer Sundowner – Ethical Use of Social Media Campaign
28 November 2025
This networking event engaged Namibian social media influencers on responsible digital practices and the social impact of online narratives. Participants reflected on ethical influence, exchanged ideas with policymakers and youth leaders, and signed a public pledge committing to responsible online behaviour.
Throughout the mission, partners also took part in several national media appearances to highlight the campaign’s goals and reinforce key messages on ethical digital engagement.
Club de Madrid, MICT, and JCI Namibia will continue working together to advance digital safety, youth engagement, and a more inclusive online ecosystem in Namibia.
