Online challenges on social media

New challenges occur regularly online, especially following social media trends. Their popularity among children is variable. Prevention comes through a frank and straightforward dialogue with children and youth, even among those who seem not to be interested.

Record participation of young people in Safer Internet Day 2023 activities in Slovenia

Children and young people are exposed to a wide range of content online that is inappropriate or harmful to them and that they do not understand. Among the most problematic content are violent, hateful and radical content spread by some influencers, as well as online pornography to which young people are exposed at a very early age. Therefore, the Slovenian awareness centre Safe.si decided to celebrate Safer Internet Day 2023 by encouraging schools and young people to talk and think about these issues. The chosen topic proved to be very interesting, and a record number of schools, pupils and students participated in the Safer Internet Day activities.
