The Insafe and INHOPE networks meet to facilitate sharing of experiences and good practice

Today and tomorrow, the Insafe and INHOPE networks are meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to explore areas of common ground and opportunities for closer working between helplines, hotlines, and awareness centres in a two-day joint training meeting. It is also an opportunity to discuss a range of online safety issues, including AI, cyberbullying, and gaming environments, to discuss the latest developments in the Digital Services Act (DSA), and consider the challenges that are likely to face Safer Internet Centres and hotlines in the future.

Day 1

Activities will kick off with some optional sessions focusing on media literacy and helpline and hotline activities. 

Then, the training meeting will officially open with a session delving into the EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, and a keynote focusing on emotional AI and children. The following sessions will provide more in-depth discussion on specific issues with input from Safer Internet Centres and experts who will share cases, resources, and research, and with allocated time for discussion and feedback. 

Day 2

Day 2 will feature discussions and exchanges on various topics, including the young people’s views and perceptions of AI, child sexual abuse material (CSAM) trends and early warning systems, deepfakes, disinformation, the progress and impact of the Digital Services Act (DSA), and more. Once again, participants will be able to choose from several Open Space Technology (OST) sessions, which are meant to facilitate the sharing of the best practices from both within the network and beyond, providing ample opportunities for discussions and debates.  

The closing keynote of the Insafe-INHOPE joint training meeting will focus on the latest opportunities and challenges for children and young people in games, followed by a panel discussion to identify solutions to some of the issues raised.  

The meeting will also include a customary resource competition to showcase the diverse range of educational resources and videos created by the network; each finalist will deliver a short pitch to encourage others to vote for their resource.
