  • 10 February 2026

Today, 10 February 2026, marks the beginning of the Safer Internet Day celebrations worldwide. Each February, stakeholders across the globe join together to make the internet a safer and better place for all, and especially children and young people. To join in the celebrations, new content is available on the BIK Learning corners.

Against a backdrop of rapid digital change, BIK activities throughout the year focused on tackling persistent harms such as cyberbullying, strengthening protections under the Digital Services Act (DSA), and ensuring that children’s voices continue to shape Europe’s digital future.

Organised as part of the European Commission’s Better Internet for Kids initiative, Safer Internet Day takes place every February, with a global focus on the second Tuesday of the month. Each participating country or organisation sets its own focus, often addressing topics such as artificial intelligence, social media, digital well-being, cyberbullying, safety by design, or video games.

Child Focus (part of the Belgian Safer Internet Centre), the private sector, and primary schools across Belgium joined forces in October and March to deliver 410 Internet Safe & Fun workshops. Employees from twelve companies cleared their schedules to teach grade 5-6 primary students some basic notions regarding online safety, particularly around privacy, cyberbullying, sexting, and online friendships. In recent years, Child Focus has seen a sharp increase in reports on online issues. Thanks to the Internet Safe & Fun workshops, hundreds of schools receive free support to strengthen their students’ media literacy.

While the internet offers intrinsic benefits and opportunities for growth and creativity, it also increases exposure to online risks.
