Belgian Safer Internet Centre - Child Focus

In 2022, on Safer Internet Day (SID), the Belgian Safer Internet Centre (SIC) will encourage many local activities for a better internet for kids and youngsters in schools, youth institutes, youth movements and after-school facilities. This will be facilitated by providing a series of “ready to use” resources from which teachers and educators can choose. These tools provide a pedagogical and playful way to create 'a safer internet for kids and youngsters' at the heart of the activity. To create solid visibility, local activities will be registered by the organisations on www.saferinternetday.be, using a simple registration form. The participation rate of local activities will be shown through a ‘barometer’ on the homepage of saferinternetday.be. Links to their own social media profile pages (fb, Insta, LinkedIn ,..) will be foreseen to reinforce the visibility also on a more local level. The target groups of the activities are children and youngsters from 10 till 14 years old.

 

Safer Internet Day is intended to be a kick-off and a real source of inspiration to enrich the work of professionals with children and youngsters on e-safety. By making available a series of practical and playful tools and a source of inspiration of yet other tools on www.betternet.be, we make it possible for teachers and educators to extend education on a safer internet for kids and youngsters over a long timeframe period.
