On 11 February 2026, Fundación Vida Segura joined the global celebrations of Safer Internet Day (SID) with a series of impactful initiatives aimed at promoting digital safety, privacy, and responsible online behaviour in Panama. Through live discussions, a peer-to-peer social media campaign, and national radio mentions, the foundation reached a broad audience, fostering awareness and action for a safer digital environment.
Live Instagram discussion on AI and its impact on families and education
One of the highlights of the day was the engaging Instagram live session “El impacto de IA en la educación y las familias” (“The impact of AI on education and families” in English), featuring Luis Medrano, an AI specialist and consultant in AI implementation.
Moderated by Fundación Vida Segura, the discussion explored how artificial intelligence is shaping the digital landscape for children and families, emphasising both its opportunities and challenges in education and daily life. The session attracted over 500 live viewers, generating meaningful conversations on how to navigate AI responsibly.
The recording of the Instagram live is available.
Peer-to-peer social media campaign
Recognising the power of young voices, Fundación Vida Segura launched a peer-to-peer social media campaign where a child and a teenager shared advice with their peers on key digital safety topics. Their messages focused on:
- protecting personal data and maintaining privacy online
- recognising and avoiding digital threats such as cyberbullying and online scams
- balancing screen time with offline activities for healthier digital habits
This approach empowered young people to take ownership of their digital wellbeing, while making the campaign more relatable and impactful for their age group.
National radio mentions on digital citizenship
To amplify the message of Safer Internet Day, Fundación Vida Segura collaborated with leading national radio stations, including Radio Panamá and La Exitosa. These segments provided expert insights and practical tips on digital citizenship, emphasising responsible online interactions, critical thinking in the digital space, and the importance of parental involvement in children’s online experiences.
By reaching a diverse audience through radio, the foundation reinforced the significance of digital safety beyond social media and digital platforms.
Impact and commitment
Through these initiatives, Fundación Vida Segura successfully engaged different sectors of society, from children and teenagers to parents and educators, in discussions about building a safer and more responsible digital environment.
The foundation remains committed to promoting digital literacy, cybersecurity awareness, and online safety, ensuring that every child and family in Panama can navigate the digital world with confidence.
