Internet plays a key role in the way young people communicate. Fully integrated in their life new technologies, by their immediacy and anonymity, offer fantastic opportunities for self-expression but can also sometimes be perilous. That’s why, more than ever, we need to help young people thrive in this 24/7 digital world and hope that parents will understand and play an active role in their children’s digital lives.

We will be making available on the D-day invaluable resources targeting young people, parents and teachers – these include e-safety cards, a digipack and an activity book so be sure not to miss them! In the meantime, you can also watch our video and download resources from our website (www.saferinternetday.org). And don’t forget, “Internet, it’s more than a game, it’s your life!”
