Safer Internet Day

SAFE-SI Slovenia

The Slovenian Safer Internet Center SAFE-SI is celebrating Safer Internet Day for the 7th year now, this year with a large campaign in Slovenian schools and with the key message of connecting generations and learning from each other about safe and smart use of online technologies. The activities will go on through the whole February - safer internet month: 

• SAFE-SI has invited schools to register for SID celebrations, and more than 220 teachers responded from cca. 180 schools all over Slovenia. We have sent them a toolkit with all necessary resources (presentations, activities, videos, etc.) to use in classrooms with pupils and also parents. More than one third of Slovenian schools is involved in the activities and they can be seen on an interactive Google map:
