Information about Safer Internet Day
What is 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.
