TOGETHER FOR A BETTER INTERNET




On Tuesday, 9 February 2021, we celebrated the 18th edition of Safer Internet
Day with actions taking place right across the globe. With a theme once again of
"Together for a better internet", the day called upon all stakeholders to join
together to make the internet a safer and better place for all, and especially
for children and young people. Download the public report to discover more about
actions and successes from the day.

Also, read on to find out more about practical ways in which you can get
involved in the campaign, not just on Safer Internet Day but all year around.
Whether you are a young person, a parent or carer, a teacher or an educator, a
policy maker, or whether you represent an organisation or industry, everyone has
a role to play in creating and maintaining a better online world.

And, noting the global reach of the Safer Internet Day campaign, on this site
you can also discover more about the actions of European Safer Internet Centres,
global Safer Internet Day Committees and a range of organisational and industry
supporters to mark the day.

Much of the day's activity played out on social media. Be sure to check our
Facebook and Twitter profiles, and review the #SaferInternetDay and
#SID2021 hashtags to see the discussions that took place.

And, as one Safer Internet Day draws to a close, so we start planning the next.
Join us for the next edition of Safer Internet Day on Tuesday, 8 February 2022.

GET INVOLVED

The Safer Internet Day slogan of “Together for a better internet” encourages
everyone to join the movement, to participate, and to make the most of the
internet’s potential to bring people together. With a global, community-led
approach, Safer Internet Day encourages everyone to come together and play their
part. There are many ways to do this...

Are you a young person?

As a young person, you are the main target of Safer Internet Day, but that does
not mean you are a passive recipient of the collective effort towards the
promotion of a better internet that takes place every February. In fact, there
are a wealth of opportunities for young people to make their voices heard on
matters relating to their safety and wellbeing in the online world, from
contacting your national Safer Internet Centre or Safer Internet Day Committee
and getting involved in their youth participation schemes, to becoming an
advocate of Safer Internet Day on social media by sharing your experience of the
digital environment and your aspirations for a better internet – take a look at
our social media plans for inspiration. You can also be the change you want to
see in the (online) world by being kind and respectful to others online, by
protecting your online reputation and that of others, and by seeking out
positive opportunities to create, engage and share online.

Are you a parent or carer?

Parents and carers, you play a crucial role in empowering and supporting
children and young people to use digital technologies responsibly, respectfully,
critically and creatively. Indeed, parental influence, guidance and education
have a significant and long-lasting impact on children’s safety and wellbeing in
the online world. Therefore, there are plenty of ways for you to participate in
Safer Internet Day, whether it is by ensuring an open dialogue with your
children, educating them to use digital technologies safely and positively, or
acting as digital role models. To help you achieve that, you may want to have a
look at the SID resource gallery, where you’ll find a range of resources to use
with your children, from information sheets on various online opportunities and
risks to conversation starters and even games, which are available in a variety
of languages and for a variety of age groups. If you would like to find out more
about specific actions and resources in your country, you can get in touch with
your local Safer Internet Centre or Safer Internet Day Committee.

Are you a teacher or educator?

As a teacher or educator, there are various ways in which you can get involved
in Safer Internet Day. Firstly, the most important way is to raise awareness –
talk to your colleagues to plan whole-school actions, and provide a real focus
with a day, week or even a month of safer and better internet activities. If
you’re looking for resources to support you in this, check out the SID resource
gallery. Here, you’ll find a range of resources from assembly and lesson plans,
to printable games to use in the classroom, in a variety of languages and for a
variety of age groups. You may also wish to make contact with your local Safer
Internet Centre or Safer Internet Day Committee to find out about specific
actions in your country. They may also be able to assist with more targeted
resources. If your school has a social media account, you can support SID by
tweeting and posting about your actions, and sharing our posts too. You can find
suggested posts, visuals and covers in our social media plans. 

Are you from an organisation or industry?

As a representative of an organisation and industry, you are in a direct
position to design, shape and adapt the platforms, services and content children
and young people interact with on a daily basis. In doing so, you have the power
to make a safer and better internet a concrete reality. You may get involved in
Safer Internet Day by creating and promoting positive content and safe services
online – to support you in doing so, we have designed a best practice guide on
positive online content for children which you may find useful. You may also
participate in Safer Internet Day by empowering your youngest users to respond
to any issues by providing clear safety advice, a range of easy-to-use safety
tools, and quick access to support if things do go wrong. Finally, we also
encourage you to express your support for Safer Internet Day by posting about
your actions on social media and by sharing our posts. You can find suggested
posts, visuals and covers in our social media plans which will be published in
January 2021 as we countdown to the day.

Are you a policy maker?

Policy makers and politicians can promote a safer and better internet by putting
in place the conditions for the emergence of a culture in which all stakeholders
are encouraged and empowered to make the choices that will guarantee that
children and young people have the best possible online experiences. As a
representative from policy, you may support Safer Internet Day by (re)affirming
the need to provide opportunities in the national or local curriculum for
children and young people to learn about online safety, digital and media
literacy, by ensuring that parents and carers have access to appropriate
information and sources of support, and that industry is encouraged to
self-regulate its content and services. To make a long-lasting change to the
digital environment, you also need to take the lead in governance and
legislation in order to ultimately ensure the safety and wellbeing of children
and young people through effective child protection strategies for the digital
world.

Are you a media representative?

Every February, Safer Internet Day is an opportunity for millions of people
around the world to raise awareness of children and young people’s online safety
and wellbeing. For this reason, media outlets can truly help multiply the global
reach of Safer Internet Day by using this occasion as an opportunity to explore
the importance of online safety and digital literacy for children and young
people in your media production. To support you in doing so, for each campaign
we develop a range of promotional materials – to begin with, take a look at the
Safer Internet Day key messages. As the day approaches, we'll provide an
infographic and other media assets, and publish a number of news articles about
Safer Internet Day celebrations and activities around the world. If you would
like to become an advocate of Safer Internet Day, have a look at our social
media plans, which are full of inspiration for posts and visuals to lend your
support to the day.
