Better Internet for Kids

AI is already shaping the way children and young people grow up and is an integral part of everyday family life - from everyday decisions to school issues and emotional topics. Parents and caregivers are therefore faced with the challenge of accompanying their children in a world increasingly characterised by artificial proximity.

A girl called Kaisa and a boy called Rasmus have created a Smart Club to help you navigate the internet smartly. Learn with them.

Short Smart Club videos provide information about how to protect personal data, what to do in case of cyberbullying and trolling, and about the importance of taking breaks from using the screens and smartphones. 

The target group is children and young people.

A live streamed remote lesson (held on 8 October 2025) was aimed at all Finnish students in grades 7–9, as well as lower secondary school teachers and other professionals. The lesson included interviews, comedic inserts, challenges and other activities for young people following the lesson. Additionally, a learning material was created for teachers to help them deal with the themes after watching the remote lesson.

In 2025, SuperDigikoulu focused on the following themes: 

The Switched On programme has been developed to assist and support educators when teaching primary pupils aged 10 - 13 years old how to be safe, responsible and competent digital citizens. 

The Switched On programme will raise pupils’ awareness of how they can be active digital citizens in a variety of digital-related activity – whether it be creating or publishing content, socialising, learning, researching or playing games. 

Together with the Sun and the Cloud, young students discover how powerful the words we use online can be. The video helps children understand how their words can make others feel happy and safe but also how they can hurt someone if we are not careful.

The sun and the cloud: the power of words” is a short, engaging animated video that explores how the words we use can shape how others feel, with a particular focus on communication in digital environments.

Do you want to scroll less on your phone, but find it difficult? Read how apps hook you, and get tips on how to become the boss of your own screen time.

Many young people want to spend less time on their phones but struggle to put them away. It’s hard to change habits when technology is working against you.

As announced in the recently adopted EU Action plan against cyberbullying, the updated guidelines on tackling disinformation and promoting digital literacy through education and training have been published.

This leaflet provides practical guidance for teachers and educators on how to recognise, prevent, and respond to cyberbullying in school communities. 

It outlines the warning signs, the impact on students’ well-being, and clear steps for a safe and effective intervention.

The material also promotes a culture of respect, digital responsibility, and open communication, helping teachers and educators create a safer and more supportive learning environment.

In the video, you will learn what cyberbullying is, what forms it can take and how to recognise it. 

The video also explains why it is important to behave properly online, how to protect your privacy, and how to respond if you become the target of online abuse or attacks. 

The goal of the video is to educate and warn young people about the risks of digital communication, so that viewers learn to use social networks and the internet in general more safely.

Distinguishing truth from falsehood in the digital age is more challenging than ever.
