Better Internet for Kids

On the occasion of SID 2025, the Polish SIC (PSIC) will organize a hybrid conference at the POLIN Museum in Warsaw. The conference serves as the focal point of the Polish SID campaign. Nearly 500 teachers, professionals working with children, media representatives, and key stakeholders are expected to attend the event in person, with many more participating online, making it the largest annual event on children’s online safety in Poland. The agenda will feature six TEDx-style presentations by recognized experts in media education, online trends, and the prevention of online threats to children and adolescents.

Additionally, PSIC has prepared several dozen online lessons for schools and webinars for professionals as part of the SID celebrations. It is estimated that around 200,000 students and several thousand professionals will participate in these activities. 

As in previous years, local educational and cultural institutions—schools, community centres, non-governmental organizations, as well as companies and individuals—are encouraged to support the initiative by organizing local activities for the safety of young internet users. These activities include educational programs, happenings, information campaigns, and competitions. Each year, several thousand institutions participate in local SID initiatives, engaging approximately 2 million children and young people. A competition for the most innovative initiative has been organized for local SID participants. 

The SID celebrations will also be accompanied by a media campaign conducted by PSIC and local SID organizers. Every year, thousands of pieces of information about SID are recorded in online and traditional media. The event continues to attract growing media attention, highlighting the importance of the issues addressed. 

The SID 2024 celebrations in Poland are held under the honorary patronage of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the Ministry of National Education, and the Children’s Rights Ombudsman. The main partner of the event is the Orange Foundation.

All activities for SID 2025 will take place under the slogan: „Dzień Bezpiecznego Internetu: Działajmy razem!” ("Safer Internet Day: Together for a Better Internet!"). During the upcoming 21st edition of the event in Poland, we aim to encourage everyone to actively participate in co-creating a creative and safe online environment. The idea of SID is to emphasize the power of collaboration in promoting digital safety—both internationally and locally—by involving many institutions and the family, the child’s closest environment.

To achieve this goal, the Polish SIC invites cooperation to strengthen the influence of SID celebrations nationwide. In 2025, honorary patronage will be provided by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the Ministry of National Education, and the Children’s Rights Ombudsman. The main partner of the event is the Orange Foundation.

The organizers have also invited schools, community centres, non-governmental organizations, private companies, media, and other institutions to actively participate in SID 2025 celebrations. Participants are encouraged to organize local initiatives that promote internet safety among children, young people, and parents. These can take various forms, such as conferences, lectures, workshops, discussions, picnics, or performances.

Local initiatives can be registered until the end of March 2025 using the form available on the official SID website (www.dbi.pl). Additionally, a competition with prizes has been organized for local SID campaign organizers. We anticipate the participation of several thousand institutions and the engagement of approximately 2 million children and young people.
