The meeting, which took place in April 2026, brought together experts from the Safer Internet Centres of Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.

More than 4,500 students from schools across Spain joined the online workshop “Of course! Here’s another suggestion. What would you do with AI?” to celebrate Internet Day in Spain on 11 May 2026.

On 24 April 2026, seven BIK Youth Ambassadors travelled to Brussels to take part in the European Youth Week (EYW) 2026 kick-off event at the European Parliament. It was an inspiring day built around the theme of ‘Solidarity and fairness’, marking 30 years of EU-funded volunteering.

The resource "CornHub ≠ Reality" won the October 2025 Insafe-INHOPE Training meeting resource competition. The winning Luxembourgish Safer Internet Centre was awarded a grant to adapt the resource for the benefit of the Insafe network.

As risks and incidents of violence in the digital space become increasingly common, knowing where to seek help can make all the difference. The Portuguese helpline Linha Internet Segura (LIS) chatbot was created precisely to address this need: a new digital tool designed to support, inform and guide those facing online problems in an immediate, accessible and confidential manner.

While simultaneously facing the war in Ukraine, schools, libraries and non-governmental organisations recently took part in the traditional annual Safer Internet Day (SID) celebrations, along with approximately 180 countries across the world. The Ukrainian Safer Internet Day Committee has been working all year long in order to reinforce the efforts of all stakeholders to bring the celebration of Safer Internet Day to each region of Ukraine.

Those who fled from the war in Ukraine to Germany could not receive the help they needed at the German-language counselling services of Nummer gegen Kummer. However, it quickly became clear that this sensitive group in particular needs a high level of support in their native language.
