Known as Safer Internet Day, this is a date celebrated every year in February, which aims to promote the safe use of internet by individuals, especially groups most vulnerable to online risks, such as children.

Every year, Safer Internet Day brings together various organizations and individuals in promoting awareness-raising activities for the dangers of the Internet, identifying security and ethical practices in this medium.

Several actions are organized online and offline to alert to the dangers of internet and promote its conscious use. The initiative was created by INSAFE Network, which brings together organizations that develop conscious use of the Internet in the European Union.
