About us
The Safer Internet Centre - Generazioni Connesse represents the gateway for the general public to find information on issues related to children's and young people’s use of online technologies and services, at the national as well as European levels. It provides the connection to the Better Internet for Kids platforms established at the European level. Moreover, the Italian SIC works continuously with other SICs, universities and institutions around Europe sharing best practices and taking part in research, surveys and shaping a human-centric, sustainable vision for a digital society. The Italian Safer Internet Centre can be considered the result of a long process, most of the experience began in 2012 with the establishment of the SIC. Following, strengthening, even more, its focal role acquired while making the SIC the unique point of reference nationally and universally recognized for all aspects regarding safety internet matters.
The project represents the result of several lessons learned from the past, including the option to coordinate with a strong public institutional effort. The objective of the project is to improve the use of the Internet and other digital technologies by children and young people in their personal and social lives as well as in their studies and future work. This is attained by increasing their digital competencies and by improving the conditions for a more child-friendly online environment for them.
