Better Internet for Kids

Safer Internet Forum 2026

We invite you to join us for the Safer Internet Forum (SIF) 2026, which will take place in a hybrid format in Brussels and online on Thursday, 3 December 2026.

This year's edition is themed Balancing protection and empowerment online, providing an opportunity to reflect on the newly proposed EU KIDS Act following the recommendations of President von der Leyen’s Special Panel on child safety online.

At a time when global discussions are focused on how to best provide age-appropriate online environments for children and young people, SIF 2026 will consider new and emerging challenges through the lens of protection, empowerment, and respect for children and young people’s voices and rights.

Discussions will examine how to strike a balance between protection and empowerment while highlighting the importance of digital literacy, critical thinking, and positive age-appropriate online experiences aligned with children and young people’s evolving capacities.

As always, young people will be central to the day's discussions.

Registration is now open. As is customary, in-person attendance is by invitation only, while anyone is welcome to join online.

We will share further information about the event on our social channels in due course (Facebook, LinkedIn and X).
