Information about Safer Internet Day

Every year in February, many people and institutions around the world use the slogan "Together for a better Internet" to campaign for improved security on the Internet. Children and young people in particular should be supported in their self-determined and responsible use of digital media.

There are many starting points: respectful interaction with one another, the promotion of media competence, the creation of an adequate legal framework, and the provision of high-quality services for children and young people.

Accordingly, a wide variety of institutions, companies and private individuals are participating in Safer Internet Day: schools, kindergartens, institutions under public law and politics, but also parents, children and young people - everyone can contribute to better interaction in the digital sphere.

• Promote awareness around the confident and responsible use of digital media.
• motivate people of all ages to deal with safety on the Internet
• draw public and media attention to the topic of "Safer Internet
• Initiate active participation of institutions, organizations, associations, companies, initiatives, schools, and private individuals at national, regional, and local level as part of a worldwide campaign.
• Inform about and promote international cooperation within the framework of the European Commission's DIGITAL program.

Worldwide , Safer Internet Day is organized by the European Insafe network as part of the European Commission's DIGITAL program.

As part of the Insafe network and in its role as Awareness Centre Germany, klicksafe has been coordinating Safer Internet Day in Germany since 2004. Hundreds of actions and events converge at klicksafe, are published on the website and thus gain visibility and public awareness. In addition, klicksafe offers various print and digital media free of charge to promote the actions.

In addition to the organization, klicksafe launches an annually changing thematic focus and its own actions, events and materials. 

In keeping with the overarching motto "Better Internet for kids" and current events, klicksafe highlights a special topic each year.

Under the hashtag #OnlineAmLimit, klicksafe 2023 is dedicated to the question of up to what point media use is okay and at what point we fall into the digital stress trap. What skills do adults, children and young people need for a healthy balance? And how can binding rules be established for media consumption in jobs, school and leisure time?

All institutions, educational institutions, youth organizations, associations, companies and private individuals are invited to actively participate in Safer Internet Day. All activities related to the topic of Internet safety or the klicksafe theme are welcome.

There are no limits to your participation: from a simple reference to Safer Internet Day in social media channels, to online webinars, workshops at schools, publication of news articles ... - we look forward to your diverse ideas and participation.

Please register your event or action via the registration form. This will make your commitment visible and lend weight to the common goal of a safer Internet.
