Better Internet for Kids

Each year, for the entire month of October, hundreds of activities take place across Europe, including conferences, workshops, trainings, webinars, presentations and more, to promote digital security and cyber hygiene.
 

From group chats to gaming servers, today’s youth connect, learn and grow through online relationships. But alongside connection comes some risks: cyberbullying, grooming, peer pressure, and more.

This new BIK MOOC (massive open online course), Helping kids build and manage healthy online relationships, offers practical guidance for educators, youth workers, and caregivers to navigate these challenges with care and confidence. Starting on Monday, 6 October 2025 and continuing across 5 self-paced weeks, course participants can explore real strategies, discover ready-made tools, and join a European community of professionals facing similar challenges. The MOOC will be delivered in English.

We invite you to save the date for Safer Internet Forum (SIF) 2025, which will take place in a hybrid format in Brussels and online on Thursday, 4 December 2025.

This year's edition will focus on how age can impact the safety and well-being of children and young people in the digital world. More specifically, the Forum will consider how age assurance, in connection with a broader range of protective and preventive measures, can help to protect children and young people from harmful content while providing them with age-appropriate, positive online experiences. It will bring together a variety of public and private stakeholders, including youth, to discuss the current state of play across and beyond the European Union, with reference to recent political and technical solutions being implemented.

Registration will open during October 2025; in-person attendance will be by invitation only, while anyone is welcome to join online. Once live, further registration information will be shared on our social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter)) and in the next edition of the BIK bulletin.
