What is Safer Internet Day?
|
Safer Internet Day (SID) is celebrated in nearly 100 countries around the world in February of each year. In Europe, 30 countries mark the day with support from the European Commission's Safer Internet Programme. SID is coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among children and young people.
Safer Internet Day 2013 - the tenth anniversary of Safer Internet Day - will take place tomorrow on Tuesday 5 February, around the theme 'Online Rights and Responsibilities' and under the slogan 'Connect with respect'.
