European Trade Union Committee for Education

Safer Internet Day (SID) is an annual opportunity to engage in making our internet a better and safer place for our children and young people. Being initiated under the European Commission’s Safer Internet Programme and now being organized by Insafe, today SID has outgrown its original geographic zone and is being celebrated in more than 100 countries worldwide, including all 28 countries of the European Union.

This year’s theme, ‘Play your part for a better internet!’, stresses the fact that everyone (children, parents, educators, politicians,...) has a part to play in promoting a safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones across the world. Recognizing that digital technologies are useful educational tools, ETUCE underlines the importance of a safe online learning and teaching environment.
