About our SID activities
On Safer Internet Day 2025 we aim to raise awareness about how to make the internet safer in times of artificial intelligence. For more than 25 years, we have worked to promote the rights of children and adolescents in digital environments, and today more than ever we see that the actors involved in child and adolescent upbringing (families, schools, governments and companies) need tools to promote the ethical use of technology.
In this context, artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities, but also brings challenges such as misinformation, bias and misuse of data. That is why, in this edition, we are going to offer on our website specialized resources and workshops on this topic for educators, parents, as well as recommendations for companies and states on how to promote the responsible use of AI.
Our goal is to accompany future generations so that they can take advantage of the opportunities of AI, always from a critical and ethical approach, and ensure that technological progress serves to build a fairer and safer society for all.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
Our work is guided by three complementary lines of action that are present in all our projects:
Responsible and safe use of technology
We promote the development of skills to identify and prevent risks and violence in digital environments. Also the ability to have relationships based on coexistence and respect towards other people, from the guidelines of Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE). In our programmes, teachers, families, children, adolescents and young people acquire tools for:
Preventing and tackling digital violence
The promotion of digital coexistence
Critical and reflective use of technology
We promote the learning of skills to understand and evaluate the forms of circulation of information in digital media. This involves being able to understand how algorithms operate, how to detect cases of misinformation and to know what is involved in handing over personal data. In our programmes, teachers, families, children, adolescents and young people acquire the tools to:
The critical education of digital media
Balanced use of screens
The protection of their privacy
Active, creative, and participatory use of technology
We foster the development of skills to creatively use technologies to generate individual, community and/or social transformation. These promote people to be creators, producers and protagonists using digital media. In our programmes, teachers, families, children, adolescents and young people acquire different tools in relation to:
- Digital literacy
- Computational thinking
- Participation and digital activism
- Computational thinking
- Maker culture
- Employability in the digital world
- 21st century skills
About us
We are a non-profit civil organisation that promotes the rights of children, adolescents and young people in digital environments, formed by a team of people passionate about education and technology.
We work from a rights-based approach in Argentina and the region so that children, adolescents and young people can exercise full digital citizenship, from an active, critical and creative role, in a protected and violence-free environment. We believe that they have a lot to say, and that as inhabitants of the digital ecosystem it is essential to provide them with tools so that they can participate in this space, take care of themselves and express themselves freely.
In collaboration with other organisations, public entities and the private sector, we promote programmes for boys and girls, families and the educational community. In addition, we carry out surveys and research aimed at finding out the main trends and global demands on the issues we address, and thus generate evidence both for advocacy and for developing our initiatives.
Chicos.net has been a partner of Save the Children since 2006, and is currently part of its regional network PASC (Civil Society Support Programme) as a technical partner specialising in digital citizenship and youth participation mediated by technology. At the national level, we are part of the Collective for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, facilitating tools and resources to improve communications using technology. We have represented our country and the region in global advocacy spaces for the rights of children and adolescents, including the General Day of Discussion on Children and ICTs organised by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva (2014), the Niñ@Sur-Mercorsur Meeting (Montevideo, 2016), the Regional Forum on National Comprehensive Protection Systems (Montevideo, 2018) and the Pan American Child Congress (Cartagena, 2019), among others.
HumanAI
HumanIA (in the additional links/resources) is a HumanIA is a learning proposal on Artificial Intelligence (AI) aimed at high school and middle school students and teachers. Chapter by chapter, a series of questions, explorations and experiences are proposed to understand what AI is and what implications it can have on the current and future lives of young people and adolescents.
