Experts have discussed with young people and students about the potential of the internet and the risks to which we must always pay attention. Italian Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi intervened in the event as well. Rewatch the online stream below. 

All schools were invited to post their projects to share best practices on the website of the Italian Safer Internet Centre (SIC). During the day, two thematic webinars were also organised. The webinars were also live streamed from the dedicated section. You can rewatch them below. 

As every year on Safer Internet Day, the Italian SIC illustrated the results of research carried out at the national level on the use of technologies and the attention of young people regarding online risks. 

During the whole month of February, the Italian SIC celebrated the 6th edition of the campaign "Il mese della sicurezza online" (Safer Internet Month). The objective of the campaign was to make children and young people, teachers and educators, parents and carers reflect not only on the conscious use of the internet, but also on everyone's active and responsible role in making the internet a more positive and safer place. The official hashtag of SID 2022 in Italy was, in fact, #laretesiamonoi (#wearethenet).
