Better Internet for Kids

Sors-moi de l’IA (Get Me Out of AI) is an engaging, educational escape game designed for educators, families and youth (ages 8+) to explore artificial intelligence (AI) in a fun and interactive way. Developed by Internet Sans Crainte for Safer Internet Day 2025, the game raises awareness of AI’s impact, ethics, and responsible use through critical thinking and problem-solving challenges. 

The handbook is aimed at middle school educators and focuses on developing students' digital citizenship. Through student-centred activities, it promotes responsible and safe internet use. The main sections of the handbook focus on the following topics: 

Internet traffic School (Netumferðarskólinn) is a part of the government's action plan for cybersecurity and was initially funded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Industry and Innovation. Around 9,000 children aged 6-13 years, 2,000 parents and 800 teachers in 80 different schools all around the country have participated in the Internet Traffic School for the past 1.5 years. 

In cooperation with a major Internet Service Provider in Latvia, a set of materials was developed with the slogan "When you use the internet, remember about safety!". It helps 4-7-year-old children, guided by their educators and parents, to learn about safe and responsible use of the internet. 

A study conducted in Lithuania shows that children as young as 2 years old use screens for more than 1 hour a day on average, and 7-year-olds for more than 2 hours a day. Long screen time has a negative impact on other activities that are important for children's development, related to the child's emotional problems and behavioural difficulties, perceived sleep quality. 

Playing video games is the number one leisure activity for children and youth growing up today. The gaming arena can give them many positive experiences and have an impact on their future in various ways. At the same time, the gaming arena has been unsupervised for long and now includes a number of potential risks, including an increasing culture of toxic online behaviour, hate speech, and cyberbullying. Toxic: the board game is a learning resource that is part of a number of projects tackling this issue by the Norwegian Safer Internet centre.

The study ‘Sexual Harassment Online’ clearly shows that sexual harassment on the internet is a sad part of everyday life for many children and young people in Austria. The infographic shows the key findings of the study, which was conducted in October 2024. 405 young people between the ages of 11 and 17 took part in the online survey. In addition, 70 young people from four school classes aged between 13 and 19 were interviewed in focus groups. Interviews with experts from counselling centres and academia rounded off the study.

Just as in the real world, young people will sooner or later encounter the topic of sexuality on the internet. It is important for parents to be aware of both the positive and potentially dangerous aspects of sexuality online and to talk to their children about it. This brochure is designed to help educate children about sexting, sextortion and cyber grooming, to make them aware of the dangers and to teach them how to stay safe and confident online.

The sexting poster informs young people about what to consider when sending intimate pictures and videos. It clarifies legal aspects, provides contact points for those affected and promotes a responsible approach to the issue through prevention and education.

The internet and social media offer ideal platforms for anti-democratic ideas. Right-wing extremists make targeted use of the internet to reach young users and win them over.
