About our SID activities
Join us in commemorating SID 2025!
Children and young people can help to create a better internet by being kind and respectful to others online, by protecting their online reputations (and those of others), and by seeking out positive opportunities to create, engage and share online.
Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in empowering and supporting children to use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively, whether it is by ensuring an open dialogue with their children, educating them to use technology safely and positively, or by acting as digital role models.
Teachers, educators and social workers can help to create a better internet by equipping their pupils and students with digital literacy skills and by developing their critical thinking skills, which will allow them to better navigate the online world. They can empower them to create their own content, make considered choices online, and can set a personal example of positive online behaviour for their pupils and students.
Industry can help to create a better internet by creating and promoting positive content and safe services online, and by empowering users to respond to any issues by providing clear safety advice, a range of easy-to-use safety tools, and quick access to support if things do go wrong.
Decision makers and politicians need to provide a culture in which all of the above can function and thrive – for example, by ensuring that there are opportunities in the curriculum for children and young people to learn about online safety, ensuring that parents and carers have access to appropriate information and sources of support, and that industry is encouraged to self-regulate its content and services. They must also take the lead in governance and legislation, and ultimately ensure the safety and well-being of children and young people through effective child protection strategies for the digital world.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
Everyone has a responsibility to make a positive difference online. We can all promote the positive by being kind and respectful to others and by seeking out positive opportunities to create and connect. We can all respond to the negative by reporting inappropriate or illegal content and behaviour online.
About us
This year, on Tuesday 11 February 2025, is the 22nd Edition of the global Safer Internet Day (SID). In Kenya, this will mark the 12th Edition of observation of the day, coordinated by Watoto Watch Network.
Safer Internet Day is observed annually on the second day of the second week of February, with the goal of promoting a safer and better internet for children and young people.
The SID 2025 theme, “Together for a better internet,” encourages collective action to harness the internet’s potential to connect and empower communities. The campaign calls on individuals and groups, including children, young people, parents, caregivers, teachers, educators, social workers, industry stakeholders, decision-makers, and politicians, to contribute actively to building a safer online environment.
