About our SID activities
For Safer Internet Day (SID) 2023, a SID safety kit for schools will be developed with online materials and tools that teachers can use throughout February to celebrate SID.
A campaign "You are what you are doing on the internet" will be organised to raise awareness among children and youngsters about how their online activities can influence their future. Two popular influencers will be involved in the campaign.
A SID test will be developed and disseminated to schools.
What we are doing to support the SID 2023 slogan of "Together for a better internet"…
We encourage not only youngsters but also adults to think about online safety. Pedagogues are invited to use the Safer Internet Centre's resources to raise awareness in schools about the safe and responsible use of technologies. Society will be informed about the ways in which each of us can make the internet a better place.
What we are doing to mark the 20th anniversary of Safer Internet Day…
The focus will be on youngsters - how each of us can make the internet a better place. Influencers will be involved to raise their voices about SID 2023 celebrations.
About us
The work of the Latvian Safer Internet Centre (SIC) is coordinated by the Latvian Internet Association with partners the State Inspectorate for Protection of Children's Rights and The Local Governments Training Centre. The SIC has three main tasks:
- Informing and educating children, adolescents, teachers and parents on the safety of internet content, for example the potential threats on the internet, and how to the use internet in a more responsible and wise manner.
- Ensuring a reporting facility about illegal online content and breaches online (any report can be anonymous). The reports are processed and, if appropriate, sent for examination to the State Police or the INHOPE Association.
- Ensuring a helpline, 116111, of the State Inspectorate for Protection of Children's Rights, a possibility for everyone, but especially children and youngsters, to turn to for help on any issue, including internet matters.
