Safer Internet Day (World Network Security Day) is an annual event established in 2004 and organized internationally with the support of the European Commission, in order to promote a more secure and responsible use of the Web and new technologies, in particular for children and young people. It is celebrated worldwide on 6 February. Over the years, Safer Internet Day has become a point of reference for all operators in the sector, as well as for institutions and civil society organizations in more than 100 countries.
This year’s slogan, Create, Connect and Share Respect: a better internet starts with you, is aimed not only at helping young people reflect on how to use the Internet responsibly, but also at encouraging everyone to take an active role in making the Internet a positive and safe place, especially for its youngest users.
