About our SID activities

The Romanian Safer Internet Centre (SIC) will celebrate Safer Internet Day (SID) 2023 by organizing a round table event on 7th February 2023 in Bucharest, addressing the issue of cyberbullying. The event will also focus on presenting the 2022 report of the national safer internet center, with a focus on the latest data on the illegal content found on the Romanian web pages, obtained within the esc_ABUZ reporting line, and the cases received at the counseling line. The event will feature speakers ranging from Save the Children specialists to government authorities and educational experts, and it will gather representatives from public institutions, journalists, social workers and other relevant stakeholders.

What we are doing to support the SID 2023 slogan of "Together for a better internet"…

This year's edition of Safer Internet Day will bring together representatives from all major institutions with a role in child protection in Romania. We aim to join forces and find new and creative ways to prevent and combat cyberbullying, an ever present online risk children are faced with.

What we are doing to mark the 20th anniversary of Safer Internet Day…

This year, the Romanian Safer Internet Center will not only mark the Safer Internet Day, but also will celebrate the safer internet month. All throughout February, children in schools and teachers will be invited to organize training sessions and events to raise awareness about cyberbullying, to understand the risk it represents and to encourage children to take action against this phenomenon.

About us

The Ora de Net project promotes internet safety among Romanian children, parents, teachers and specialists by creating public awareness campaigns, by offering informative sessions, trainings, and by improving educational methods used in schools, and also by proposing public policies and better legislation in this field. The project also aims to combat illegal or harmful content and internet-related offences (child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming), to encourage the responsible use of the internet and new communication technologies by children, parents and teachers, and to influence decision making by bringing together key stakeholders in formulating and implementing realistic policies.
