Better Internet for Kids

Organised by All Digital Network, the All Digital Weeks campaign is one of the major pan-European awareness raising campaigns on digital skills for inclusion, empowerment and employment. 

All Digital Weeks 2025 will run over 3 weeks from 17 March until 4 April 2025. The campaign will be supported by the European Commission, involve international and national partners, and participating organisations in different European countries.

The campaign’s motto  ’’Enhance your digital skills’’ is an invitation to empower Europeans with digital skills and is a call to action for all European citizens and every individual living in Europe to develop digital skills, both basic and advanced, that improve their job prospects, enable active participation in society, and support sustainable economic growth.

The Insafe-INHOPE joint training meeting will take place in Amsterdam on 19-20 March 2025.

The training meeting takes place twice a year, and it is an important part of knowledge and capacity-building activities of the Insafe and INHOPE networks. 
 

Happiness is a fundamental human goal. The United Nations General Assembly recognises this goal and calls for “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples.”

Governments and international organisations should invest in conditions that support happiness by upholding human rights and incorporating well-being and environmental dimensions into policy frameworks. The effectiveness of governments in upholding peace and social order, as well as in the fields of taxation, legal institutions and delivery of public services, strongly correlates with average life satisfaction.

This day serves as a call to action for individuals, organisations, and all levels of government to actively work to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, injustice, systemic racism and hate.

The day serves as a means to affirm and promote the full realisation of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for autistic people on an equal basis with others.
 

Since 8 April 2011, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has celebrated Girls in ICT Day annually on the fourth Thursday in April. This initiative promotes information and communication technologies (ICT) to young women and girls and encourages them to pursue STEM education, aims to inspire girls and young women to work in STEM careers, and engages the community to promote collaboration through partnerships.

The theme for 2025 is “Girls in ICTs: bridging ALL divides for an inclusive digital transformation”, and it will emphasise the critical importance of achieving equal and equitable digital inclusion for ALL young women and girls, especially those in vulnerable situations, in the digital transformation process to accelerate global meaningful connectivity.

World IP Day highlights the need for a well-balanced intellectual property system that both acknowledges and rewards the efforts of inventors and creators while ensuring society reaps the benefits of their ingenuity. IP rights provide legal protection for the innovations and creative works of researchers, inventors, businesses, designers, and artists, allowing them to gain economic value from their contributions.

World Press Freedom Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in December 1993, following the recommendation of UNESCO's General Conference. Since then, 3 May, the anniversary of the Declaration of Windhoek is celebrated worldwide as World Press Freedom Day.

After over 30 years, the historic connection made between the freedom to seek, impart and receive information and the public good remains as relevant as it was at the time of its signing. The day is celebrated worldwide with a number of initiatives, including the high-level UNESCO's 32nd World Press Freedom Day conference Reporting in the Brave New World: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom and the Media, which will explore the challenges and opportunities that artificial intelligence presents for the right to information.

The day wants to remind governments of their duty to respect and uphold the right to freedom of expression enshrined under Article 19 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and marking the anniversary of the Windhoek Declaration, a statement of free press principles put together by African newspaper journalists in Windhoek in 1991.

Europe Day is held on 9 May every year, and it celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
