The Center for Digital Literacy (CDL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering Digital Hongik Ingan—responsible digital citizens who contribute to the greater good in the era of digital transformation.

Establishment Idea

Technological advancements have continuously reshaped human society and daily life. Agricultural innovations enabled population growth, industrial technology drove mass production and economic expansion, and now, AI-driven digital technologies are bringing unprecedented changes. As these technologies evolve, the value of human labor is being redefined—some jobs may disappear, but new opportunities will also emerge.

Those who can adapt, leverage, and apply digital tools wisely will create opportunities within this transformation and collaborate productively alongside AI. Conversely, those unable to navigate the digital landscape may find themselves struggling in an era of rapid change. History has shown that those who embrace innovation unlock new possibilities, while those who resist it often face challenges.

Education must play a critical role in ensuring that more people can access these opportunities. Despite significant efforts to advance education, traditional approaches often struggle to keep pace with the rapid evolution of digital and AI technologies. Recognizing this gap, the Center for Digital Literacy (CDL) was established as a nonprofit educational organization committed to bridging it.

CDL’s mission is to cultivate individuals with the digital fluency and ethical awareness needed in this era of transformation. By equipping people with the necessary skills and mindset, CDL empowers individuals to lead better lives and contribute to building a more inclusive and forward-thinking society.
