About our SID activities
To mark Safer Internet Day 2026, Family Online Safety Institute will host a virtual webinar in partnership with Discovery Education and NoFiltr, titled Connected Worlds: How Youth Navigate Technology at Home and in the Classroom.
Young people move between home and school every day, carrying their digital lives with them. Yet the expectations, rules, and responses they encounter in each space are often misaligned. This year’s Safer Internet Day conversation explores how youth experience technology across these overlapping environments, and what it looks like when caregivers and educators align their approaches with curiosity, consistency, and trust.
This webinar centers youth lived experience and brings together youth voices, family experts, and educator perspectives to surface practical, relationship-driven strategies that reflect how technology actually shows up in young people’s daily lives.
