Ukraine Safer Internet Day Committee
Last updated: 2021-01-23
About our SID activities
Our goal is to unite efforts of all stakeholders to inform children, young people, teachers, youth workers, parents and caregivers about online safety, to discuss threats that could harm people, to identify ways to prevent negative impact of the internet, to share respectful behaviour online, and best practices of online participation.
We deliver our activities to young people through non-formal education methods and children/youth participation in schools, clubs and youth associations.
Most of the Safer Internet Day (SID) activities are planned in the educational institutions, libraries, youth clubs and centres.
The registration of support for SID 2021 in Ukraine is here: https://bit.ly/2OAHJXB.
The activities of SID 2021 will be conducted with the traditional support by the Institute of Modernisation of Educational Content of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
On the country level, in addition to the hashtags #SID2021 and #SaferInternetDay2021, we will use a Ukrainian version #ДеньБезпечногоІнтернету2021.
We plan to use the Open Badges system for participants of activities of SID 2021 in Ukraine. Due to the Open Badges system, SID 2021in Ukraine can become more visible and recognisable among different stakeholders.
What we are doing to support the SID 2021 slogan of "Together for a better internet"…
We see our role in helping children and young people to be an active part of positive changes in the digital age. We show those sides and opportunities of the internet which lead to personal self-development and self-realisation.
About us
In 2017, inspired by our five years of work as Safer Internet Day National Committee and the possibility to take part in the creation of the safer internet for all, we established an NGO: "Better Internet Centre". We are working on translation and adaptation of research, UNICEF, Council of Europe reports, and Insafe materials making them more accessible for everybody in each part of Ukraine: from rural areas to big cities.
We develop new tools on online safety for education.
We advocate child rights online across Ukraine.
