This year, the Safer Internet Day for the first time is celebrated in more than 100 countries, not only in Europe but around the world, including the US, under the theme 'Let's Create Better Internet Together'. There will be games and competitions, radio and television shows, conferences, events in thousands of schools organized by the network of Safer Internet Centres.
In Brussels, Kroes will honour 12 creators of the best online content for children. The winners include adults and children from Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Safer Internet Day aims to promote a safer and better use of the internet, online technologies and mobile phones, and the fight against illegal or harmful content and conduct.
