Luxembourg takes action
To mark its participation in Safer Internet Day, BEE SECURE was extra present on social media. A second video in the YouTube series Discover Together was unveiled to help raise awareness among parents about how to teach their children to use the internet in a conscious, positive way.
The 2020 Annual Report, published on SID, provides an overview of BEE SECURE’s work and impact in Luxembourg and abroad.
Various information evenings were held online. The Digital Privacy Salon addressed online privacy issues related to the current COVID-19 situation. Nearly 100 people participated in the Trio of Experts, which brought together experts from BEE SECURE, the Kanner-Jugendtelefon (KJT), and the Prevention Service of the Capital Region of the Luxembourg Police. During this two-hour session, the experts offered advice for parents.
In partnership with BEE SECURE and the National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD), the Cybersecurity Competence Center Luxembourg (C3) recently launched SPAMBEE (www.spambee.lu), a new national anti-spam and anti-phishing solution. SPAMBEE is a tool that allows users to easily hunt down suspicious emails and notify experts who will make a complete diagnosis of each email sent.
CLUSIL & LIST also contributed to SID with an event on 5G and Internet of Things (IOT) themes.
The winter edition of the DigiRallye, which is usually part of the SID, could not take place as usual. There was, however, a virtual edition of the DigiRallye that is still accessible to children aged 9 and up in residential youth centres and at home. The game consists of interactive quizzes and fun activities to give children a first glimpse at how to use digital media safely.
Strong together
The national awareness-raising event was propelled by the active participation of numerous partners, with high-quality contributions from the Representation of the European Commission in Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Ministry of Education, Children and Youth, the Kanner-Jugendtelefon, the Zentrum fir politesch Bildung, Securitymadein.lu, ANIJ, Chambre des Métiers, Post Luxembourg, Planning Familial, Police Luxembourg, the Association de Soutien aux Travailleurs Immigrés asbl (ASTI), Anonym Glécksspiller asbl, Luxsenior, Nordstadjugend, the national media, the Luxembourg government, the Centre pour l'égalité de traitement (CET), RBS - Center fir Altersfroen, and Young Caritas.
