This programme's distinctions include the "cyber cooperant" of the Year 2019 (selected from among all the members of the programme who have given awareness talks, taking into account the number of talks given and the evaluation of the centres), and the "cyber cooperant of honor" which, was awarded to Her Majesty Queen Letizia on 2019, receiving the recognition for her contribution in the transmission of values of tolerance, respect and solidarity in all areas, including the online environment.

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