Together for a better internet

Safer Internet Day takes place in February of each year to raise awareness of a safer and better internet for all, and especially for children and young people.

As part of this annual celebration, we encourage everyone - including children and young people, parents and caregivers, teachers and educators, policymakers, industry and others - to join "Together for a better internet". Save the date for Safer Internet Day 2024 which will take place on Tuesday, 6 February 2024.

The 2023 edition of Safer Internet Day took place on Tuesday, 7 February 2023. Noting the global reach of the Safer Internet Day campaign, on this site you can discover more about the actions of European Safer Internet Centres (SICs), global Safer Internet Day Committees, and a range of organisational and industry supporters to mark the day. As usual, much of the campaign's activity played out on social media. Be sure to check our Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn profiles, and review the #SaferInternetDay and #SID2023 hashtags to see the discussions from the day.

And please 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.

We plan to start updating this site from September 2023 onwards for the 2024 campaign, so please visit often for the latest news.
