Safer Internet day

Welcome to Safer Internet Day 2023. Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’.

Today's world is in dire need of a secure Internet as the world community buys and sells goods and services full-time on the Internet, studies are taught through the Internet, and tea shop gossip is spread to Facebook groups and zooms.

A parallel world runs over the net and the safety of the internet is very crucial.

The 20th edition of Safer Internet Day is being celebrated on February 7, 2023. Safer Internet Day is celebrated every year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and youth and to promote national dialogue in this regard.

Safe Internet Day is celebrated in more than 170 countries around the world, jointly organized by Insafe / Inhope in collaboration with the European Commission and national secure internet centers across Europe. Since 2019, ChildSafeNet has been responsible for organizing and promoting Safe Internet Day in Nepal.

ChildSafeNet is a specialized organization dedicated to promoting secure internet for children and youth in Nepal. Since 2019, ChildSafeNet has coordinated and organized various programs for the Safer Internet Day celebration in Nepal. For more information, visit https://www.childsafenet.org

Although the main event of Safer Internet Day 2023 will be on February 7, 2023, the related activities are conducted throughout the year.

This year, Safer internet day hopes to answer the following questions:
What issues really matter to children and young people?
What changes do they want to see?
How can we all work together to advocate for them moving forward?

With your help, Safer Internet Day 2023 can be a springboard for conversations that shape how we talk about and respond to online issues, not just for one day, but throughout the whole year.
