Better Internet for Kids

Internet education begins very early, certainly no later than the moment a child is first given a screen-equipped device with internet access (such as a tablet, phone, computer, or even a television).

Educating children about the online world is not a simple task, which is why the Safe.si awareness centre (part of the Slovenian Safer Internet Centre) developed the guide Education for the internet for parents and caregivers of children aged 0 to 10. It’s an excellent resource, especially for parents of preschool-aged children.

In October 2024, the Safe.si awareness centre (part of the Slovenian Safer Internet Centre) began developing a series of twelve audio podcast episodes aimed at parents and caregivers. 

The song "Śmieci w sieci" (Trash on the internet), along with the music video and the associated lesson plan, represents the latest educational materials designed for children aged 5 to 7 by the Polish Safer Internet Centre. 

Due to the appearance of false and dangerous content on the internet, this material aims to teach children how to respond appropriately in an accessible way, and to support the development of critical thinking when using the internet. 

This short animated video illustrates how sextortion typically unfolds: a casual chat, an exchanged photo - then, suddenly, threats and blackmail. Using symbolic animal characters, the clip visualises how perpetrators build trust and then exploit it for money.

The core messages of the video are clear:

This report follows a 10-week collective campaign led by Droit Pluriel, Génération Numérique, #jesuislà, Point de Contact, Respect Zone, and SOS Racisme.

This joint effort aimed to prevent, contain, document, and combat online hate. Through this report, these NGOs share their analyses concerning the proliferation of hateful content on the Internet. It adopts a holistic approach to address the wide range of issues related to the rise in hate speech, particularly online.
