The centre of the programme will be at Berzsenyi Dániel High School in Budapest. This secondary school is one of the most active in youth activities. There will be formal and informal programmes as well. According to the formal programme, there will be the award ceremony for our photo and poster competition. Before and after that there will board games and the escape room organised by Hungarian police officers. We hope that so many schools all around the country will join to celebrate SID 2017. It will be a great fun, students are really excited! :-)
What we are doing to 'be the change' for a better internet...
SID 2017 in Hungary will focus on the common responsibility: it's everyone's job to make the internet a better place for themselves.

About the organisation
NGYSZ is one of the most important non-government welfare organisations in Hungary, established in 1990. It hosts several projects in order to provide financial, social and health-related support to children in need. Besides, for example, the foster-parents, healthcare and codification programme, it also acts as coordinator of the Hungarian Safer Internet consortium in order to turn attention to safer and more conscious internet use.
Kék Vonal
The activities of the Kék Vonal Child Crisis Foundation within the project are:
- To operate the nationwide internet helpline service 24/7 including a telephone helpline service, email service through the kek-vonal.hu website (called EMIL), and a chat service also through the website.
- To carry on the promotion tasks in order to raise the visibility of the service among the target groups, to raise awareness about the online risks that children can be exposed to, and to highlight the importance of prevention.
- To carry out ‘offline' activities, such as school visit programme and participation at public events.
Our Foundation, within this project, helps children who are victims of cyberbullying, grooming, sexting or who have faced illegal or harmful content.
Parents and teachers are also able to find help through our channels (email, chat and telephone) on internet safety issues.
The Hotline was established as a part of the Safer Internet Plus project as a partner of the Hungarian Saferinternet.hu consortium. The project is supported by the European Commission. The categories of illegal and harmful content that the hotline handles are the following:
- Child sexual abuse images (pictures, videos).
- Grooming and cyberbullying.
- Harmful and violent content.
- Racial hatred content.
- Enticement for drug consumption.
- Content harmfully published without owner's permission.
- Other harmful content.
The main goal of the hotline is to take down harmful content as soon as possible. Harmful content can be defined as any kind of website or online video, picture, and text, which can be detrimental for the growth of the young generation. The Theodore Puskas Foundation's main objective is to minimise these threats and take down all these content or restrict them from the children. To achieve these goals, we are working together with the Hungarian police, ISPs (internet service providers), and members of the INHOPE Association.
