Better Internet for Kids

‘Fight Fakes’ is an interactive swipe game for students from upper secondary school onwards. In various quizzes, they learn how to recognise fake news and deepfakes in a playful way and train their gut feeling for evaluating online content.

The game offers a total of 18 quizzes and covers six different topics: health, animals, geography, art, profile pictures and technology history. Each category comprises three progressive skill levels: EASY, PRO and PRO EXTREME. This makes ‘Fight Fakes’ suitable for many school subjects and for students with different skill levels.

SIC Slovenia created a leaflet for youngsters with the aim to introduce to them the topics related to Digital Services Act (DSA) in a fun and creative way. 

SIC Slovenia created a leaflet for young people with practical tips for safe and thoughtful online shopping. 

In May 2025, the printed version of the leaflet was sent to all Slovenian secondary schools for further distribution among students. The goal is to reach as many young people as possible. An adapted version of the leaflet is therefore also available online as a PDF, and can be downloaded easily and free of charge. The leaflet was also promoted through social networking sites, such as Facebook and Instagram.

The poster highlights the mistakes made by artificial intelligence in answering the questions that young people might have in connection to their school assignments. Artificial intelligence can be wrong, and the mistakes it makes can sometimes be difficult to detect, especially if you are not an expert in the field. 

The poster on sexual harassment online informs young people about typical behavior of perpetrators and encourages them to defend themselves against sexual harassment on the internet. It explains what victims can do and lists contact points in case of problems.

The webinar was carried out as part of the Back-2-School 2024 campaign in Slovenia. In a 90-minute online seminar, Dr. Jože Ruparčič, Deputy Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia responsible for children's rights, addressed the participants. 

This informative leaflet explains how social media algorithms personalise users feed based on browsing history, reactions, and behaviour, filtering out alternative viewpoints. This creates an “information bubble” that narrows perspective, reduces critical thinking, and increases susceptibility to manipulation and misinformation.

To mitigate the bubble effect, the guide recommends:

The first manual "Be Internet Awesome!" offers a variety of educational and cognitive materials, creative tasks and lesson plans for children aged 6 to 9, which will help children grow into safe and smart internet users. The aim of the manual is to help teachers educate children about safe and responsible internet use.

The manual was developed by the 'Szkoła z Klasą' Foundation within the framework of the 'Be Internet Awesome!' program in cooperation with Google. The publication was adapted into Latvian by the Latvian Safer Internet Centre.

This teacher’s guide aims to support educators in delivering lessons on safe and responsible internet use. It includes ready-to-use worksheets and activity ideas designed primarily for children aged 9–12, though many of the concepts can be adapted for other age groups as well.

The activities require no prior professional training or special equipment, and preparation is simple. The lessons can be enriched with the online game “Interland”.
