Save the date for Safer Internet Day 2023 which took place.
07 February 2023
On Tuesday, 7 February 2023, it was the 20th edition of the global Safer Internet Day (SID). Kenya was commemorating the 10th edition of Safer Internet Day under the coordination of Watoto Watch Network. Safer Internet Day is observed every year on the second day of the second week of February with an aim to promote safer and better internet for children and young people.
What were doing to support the SID 2023 slogan of “Together for a better internet”…
The Safer Internet Day slogan is “Together for a better internet” which encourages everyone to join the movement, to participate, and to make the most of the internet’s potential to bring people together. The campaign aims to reach out to children and young people, parents and careers, teachers, educators and social workers, as well as industry, decision-makers and politicians, to encourage everyone to play their part in creating a better internet.
Join us in commemorating SID 2023:
Children and young people can help to create a better internet by being kind and respectful to others online, by protecting their online reputations (and those of others), and by seeking out positive opportunities to create, engage and share online.
Parents play a crucial role in empowering and supporting children to use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively, whether it is by ensuring an open dialogue with their children, educating them to use technology safely and positively, or by acting as digital role models.
Teachers, educators and social workers can help to create a better internet by equipping their pupils and students with digital literacy skills and by developing their critical thinking skills, which will allow them to better navigate the online world. They can empower them to create their own content, make considered choices online, and can set a personal example of positive online behaviour for their pupils and students.
Industry can help to create a better internet by creating and promoting positive content and safe services online, and by empowering users to respond to any issues by providing clear safety advice, a range of easy-to-use safety tools, and quick access to support if things do go wrong.
- Decision makers and politicians need to provide a culture in which all of the above can function and thrive – for example, by ensuring that there are opportunities in the curriculum for children and young people to learn about online safety, ensuring that parents and carers have access to appropriate information and sources of support, and that industry is encouraged to self-regulate its content and services. They must also take the lead in governance and legislation, and ultimately ensure the safety and well-being of children and young people through effective child protection strategies for the digital world.
- Everyone has a responsibility to make a positive difference online. We can all promote the positive by being kind and respectful to others and by seeking out positive opportunities to create and connect. We can all respond to the negative by reporting inappropriate or illegal content and behaviour online.
