To mark the beginning of the new school year, the Greek Safer Internet Centre has created a complete collection of educational and awareness-raising resources. The new materials explore modern digital challenges in a practical and interactive way, adapted to the needs of different age groups.
Younger children
For younger children, learning about online safety begins with stories featuring Careful Turtle and Safe Fox. In a simple and friendly way, children learn to stop and think before clicking on a link, protect their personal information and passwords, and ask an adult for help when something online frightens or upsets them. Games, discussion, creative activities and teamwork help turn knowledge into personal experience.
Primary school students
For older primary school children, the “Social media traffic light” uses scenarios inspired by everyday digital life. Endless video scrolling, the search for likes, peer pressure, communication with strangers, misinformation and inappropriate content are explored through questions, choices and role-playing activities. Children are encouraged to stop, think and decide how they would respond, gradually developing self-control and digital maturity.
Teenagers
Teenagers can take part in interactive quizzes covering privacy, oversharing, screen time, online gaming, influencers, advertising and responsible online communication. Special attention is given to media and information literacy, recognising misinformation and knowing how to seek help safely when something goes wrong online.
The educational value of the material can be seen in the way it is carefully adapted to each age group and moves beyond simply providing information. Storytelling, quizzes, role play and real-life scenarios encourage children to become active participants in the learning process. They can explore different reactions, express their feelings, and better understand the possible consequences of their choices. At the same time, practical guides for parents and educators create a shared framework of support at school and at home.
The collection also includes specialised guides on the responsible media coverage of online child sexual abuse and on protecting the public from modern cyberthreats.
In a digital world that is changing rapidly, empowering children is more important than ever. Through knowledge, critical thinking and active participation, children can gain the skills they need to make the most of technology while facing its challenges safely and with confidence.
All the educational resources are available via the Saferinternet4kids website.
