The winners are Park and Jochen Fasco, who represents Internet ABC Project, a German online community.
Park is rewarded for her leadership and initiative with InfollutionZERO project promoting digital citizenship for children, youth and parents. InfollutionZERO addresses the challenges of “infollution” ― the harmful effects of unsafe digital “pollutants” ― including cyberspace predators, bullies, abusive language and technology addiction.
Park started InfollutionZERO project in Seoul in June, 2010, and is currently spreading it in Singapore, where she works.
The $50,000 annual prize, funded by the Kingdom of Bahrain, will be divided equally between the two winners.
