NCCE Educates Presbyterian Women's Fellowship on Constitutional Responsibility in the Digital Age

The Ada East District Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) organized a civic education program for members of the Women's Fellowship of the Presbyterian Church as part of efforts to promote constitutional awareness and responsible citizenship.

The program, held in the church auditorium, was themed **“Upholding Our Constitution in a Digital Age: Our Collective Responsibility.”** It aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana and the role citizens play in safeguarding constitutional democracy in an increasingly digital world.

During the engagement, the facilitator educated participants on the importance of respecting the rule of law, protecting democratic values, and exercising their rights and responsibilities responsibly on digital platforms. Members were encouraged to verify information before sharing it, avoid the spread of misinformation and disinformation, and use social media to promote peace, national unity, and national development.

The presentation also highlighted key constitutional principles, including freedom of expression, respect for human dignity, and civic responsibility, emphasizing their relevance to online interactions. Participants were urged to serve as ambassadors of responsible digital citizenship within their families, churches, and communities.

The program featured an interactive session during which participants asked questions and shared concerns regarding cybercrime, misinformation, and the role of citizens in protecting Ghana’s democratic system.

The engagement concluded with a call on all citizens to uphold the Constitution both online and offline, recognizing that the preservation of Ghana’s democratic gains is a collective responsibility.
